How to do a lotu pose

Sit on the floor with legs extended.
Bend one knee and place the foot on top of the opposite thigh.
Bend the other knee and place that foot on top of the first thigh.
Rest your hands on your knees and sit tall.

Form tips

Only attempt if you have sufficient hip flexibility.
Never force the knees - this can cause injury.
Use Half Lotus as a modification if needed.
