Siddhasana is another common posture, prominently used by yogis while offering prayers or performing meditation. This asana is considered effective for the purification of all Seventy-Two Thousand energy channels, referred to as Nadis<\/em> in yoga, thus facilitating the prana-vayu<\/em> to flow easily to the higher chakras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name \u201cSiddhasana\u201d is a combination of two Sanskrit words: \u201cSiddha\u201d meaning accomplished and \u201cAsana\u201d meaning posture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
