Practice of bhadha padmasanam
Place the right foot on the left thigh and the left foot on the right thigh, cross the hands behind the back (ones- own back, of course!) and firmly take hold of the toes (the right toe with the right hand and the left toe with the left.) Place the chin on the chest and gaze at the tip of the nose (Naasaagra). This is called Padmaasanam. It destroys the diseases of the self-restrained yogins,(Yamis)
