  Ardha Padmasana - Half-Lotus Pose
"Ardha" means "half" and "Padma" means "lotus" in Sanskrit. Those who are unable to assume the full Padmasana posture using both legs as described above owing to the stiffness of their legs or bulky thighs may     begin practicing with one leg at a time alternately until they are able to develop the full posture. With the practice     of this asana daily, they will be able to take that posture for a long time without discomfort and switch on to the     full  Padmasana posture after sufficient practice.


 
 
 

Ardha Shalabhasana - Half-Locust Pose
"Shalabha" means "locust" in Sanskrit. The final position of this asana resembles a locust when it lowers its     head to eat and raises its tail. Hence, the name. 'Ardha' means 'half' in Sanskrit.

    

    
   

 

 

Baddha Konasana
"Baddha" means "locked-up" and "kona" means "angle" in Sanskrit.


 
 

Baddha Padmasana - The Locked Lotus Pose
"Baddha" means "bound' or "locked-up" in Sanskrit. The limbs of the body (both arms and legs) are firmly     'locked-up' and immobilized in this posture so as to give it steadiness. In this posture, the big toes are grasped     by the fingers with arms crossed from behind.
