PM Narendra Modi, who is already taking the world by storm with his work, has begun educating the word on Yoga -- its importance and the many benefits it has. He will be sharing an asana each day and today's pose is Bhadrasana. You could also try the lying down bhadrasana.

Narendra Modi tweeted: Bhadrasana, also known as the firm/auspicious posture keeps the body firm & stabilises the mind.

Steps to do this pose:

  • Sit straight on a yoga mat and stretch your legs out in front of you.
  • Now fold both your legs and bring them close to each other. While you do this, the soles of your feet must touch each other.
  • Hold the toes of your feet with your hands and pull your legs towards the perineum. Your legs should rest on the ground touching the floor. Make sure that your spine is erect.
  • Hold this posture for as long as you can and make sure that your breath is slow and rhythmic.

Word of caution:

Avoid this asana if you have suffered a knee injury.
