Bhadrasana

(“decent posture”) In yoga practice this
is one of the sitting postures (asana)
described in commentaries to the Yoga
Sutras. In this position the legs are
crossed with the feet tucked under the
thighs so that the crossed heels form a
cavity around the scrotum. This is called
the “decent posture” because the
cupped hands are placed over the cavity
made by the heels, covering the private
parts. In Hindu iconography this is one
of the common postures in which
images of the deities are portrayed.
