Begin sitting. Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor.
Slide your left foot under your right leg and bring the heel near the right buttock. (Depending on your flexibility, try to bring the shin parallel to the front of your mat.) Release your left knee toward the floor.
Stack your right leg on top of the left. The right ankle should be just beyond the left knee. Flex your feet. Rest your fingertips by your sides.
Hold the pose and take slow, deep breaths.
Carefully straighten your legs and change sides.
