Dhirasana, Meditative Asanas
Dhirasana is a meditative asana that enhances physical and mental fortitude.

Dhirasana or the meditative asana is a derivation of Vajrasana. The two varieties i.e. Daksinapada Dhirasana and Vamapada Dhirasana, may be practised by the use of only the right leg or the left leg singly and alternately respectively. The other leg, as the case may be, is then folded and held in perpendicular position with the heel touching the anus. It is called Dhirasana or the `sedalte-pose` because it enhances physical and mental strength.
