Yoga is Good for your health & your soul.

Padmasana is highly beneficial for your joints and bones. This asana is also good for your overall posture and your backbone. An added benefit of Padmasana is for the menstruators as sitting in this pose also relieves period pains and cramps. Padmasana is also good for your abdomen and pelvic organs.
