Sthirasana
Sthirasana is a meditative yoga asana that greatly resembles the Sukhasana posture, and is very useful for meditation and concentration.

Sthirasana or the `fixed-pose` is a variation of Sukhasana and is practised by assuming the cross-legged position. Then after interlacing the fingers, with palm facing upwards, the arms are set to rest in the middle of the lap or just at the point where the legs cross each other.
