SUKHASANA, ARDHA PADMASANA, PADMASANA, SIDDHASANA, SIDDHA YONI ASANA, SWASTIKASANA, DHYANA VEERASANA, SIMHASANA, VAJRASANA, ANANDA MADIRASANA, PADADHIRASANA, BHADRASANA
The main purpose of the meditation asanas is to allow the practitioner to sit for extended periods of time without moving and without discomfort. Only when the body has been steady and still for some time will meditation be experienced. Deep meditation requires the spinal column to be straight and very few asanas can satisfy this condition.
Furthermore, in high stages of meditation the practitioner loses control over the muscle of the body. The meditation asana, therefore, needs to hold the body in steady position without conscious effort.
In this video, we have demonstrated how to get into the following meditation asanas:
SUKHASANA (easy pose)
ARDHA PADMASANA (half lotus pose)
PADMASANA (lotus pose)
SIDDHASANA (accomplished pose for men)
SIDDHA YONI ASANA (accomplished pose for women)
SWASTIKASANA (auspicious pose)
DHYANA VEERASANA (hero’s meditation pose)
SIMHASANA (lion pose)
VAJRASANA (thunderbolt pose)
ANANDA MADIRASANA (intoxicating bliss pose)
PADADHIRASANA (breath balancing pose)
BHADRASANA (gracious pose)
Practice note: A useful suggestion to make the above poses comfortable is to be place a small cushion under the buttocks.

(This is only a demonstration to facilitate practice of the asanas. It must be supplemented by a thorough study of each of the asanas. Careful attention must be paid to the contra indications in respect of each one of the asanas. It is advisable to practice under the guidance of a yoga teacher.)
