Dhirasana
Dhirasana is a meditative yoga asana derived from the Vajrasana, and translates to the `sedate pose` as it enhances mental and physical stability

Dhirasana is a meditative asana derived from 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 `sedate-pose` because it enhances physical and mental strength.
