Svastikasana is a yoga pose.
(“svastika-posture”) One of the sitting poses (asana)
mentioned in the Yoga Sutras' commentaries.
The right foot is put into the gap between the left thigh
and calf, while the left foot is entered into the area between the right thigh
and calf in this position (one of the feet is pointing upwards, and the other
down ward).
The picture of the svastika is evoked by the opposite
orientations of the feet and crossed legs, thus the name.
Svastikasana is a comfortable sitting position with the body upright. Legs can be spread forward.
Place the foot close the right thigh muscles by folding the left knee. Bend the right leg in the same way and force it through the gap between the thigh and calf muscles.
The two feet can now be found between the thighs and calves of the knees. This is a really relaxing Asana. Many who find this challenging should stay in Samasana.
Place your left heel at the top of your right thigh and your right heel at the top of your left thigh. Relax and take a seat. Bend not to the left nor to the right. This is known as ‘Samasana.'
