Siddha = Power/Perfection Yoni = Womb/Source , Asana = Pose/Posture

Steps: Siddhasana (Accomplished Pose for Men)

1. Sit with your spine straight and legs extended out.
2. Bend your right knee, bringing the heel close to the perineum, with the sole against the inner thigh.
3. Bend your left knee, placing the left foot over the right ankle. Position the left heel near the pubic bone, with the toes tucked between the right calf and thigh.
4. Push the toes and outer edge of the right foot into the space between the left calf and thigh muscles.
5. Adjust for comfort, ensuring the knees touch the ground and the heels are aligned.
6. Keep your spine erect, shoulders relaxed, and hands resting on your knees or lap in a mudra of choice.
7. Close your eyes or soften your gaze, focusing on your breath. Maintain deep, steady breaths to facilitate a meditative state.

Note: The instructions for this pose differ slightly for men (Siddhasana) and women (Siddha Yoni Asana).

For women (Siddha Yoni Asana): The pose is practiced similarly, but the lower heel presses against the opening of the vagina (yoni) and the upper heel against the clitoris. Either leg can be on top.

Contraindications: Siddhasana should not be practiced by those with sciatica or sacral infections.

Benefits of Siddhasana/Siddha Yoni Asana 

1. Siddhasana opens the hips, adds flexibility to the pelvis, lengthens the spine, and improves posture, enhancing alertness and injury prevention.
2. It regulates blood circulation from the abdomen to the spine and improves nerve cell function.
3. The pose promotes a grounded and humble attitude by encouraging self-awareness and reflection.
4. Siddhasana stimulates the Mooladhara (root) and Swadhisthana (spleen and sacral) Chakras, channeling energy upwards and converting it into ojas energy.
5. Regular practice reduces stress and anxiety, increases meditation time, enhances focus, and alleviates depression.
