The highest level of Yoga is called – Padmasana (Lotus). The Lotus is a symbol full of meaning for the Yoga practitioner. It symbolizes beauty, purity, and spirituality. It rises from the mud of ignorance and always floats, showing us the path of confusion to enlightenment. The water here symbolizes the world, and the lotus symbolizes man and their strong connection – the lotus flower can only grow in water, so sentient beings can only grow and achieve realization in this world. Yogis live in this world of inner peace just like the lotus that floats on the surface of the water, untouched by water – desire, anger, difficulties, and miseries. They are free, even when the world tries to lead them astray through waves of emotions and desires.

Padmasana is known as the highest and “royal” Asana because it is the only seated position in which the spine is completely straightened so that the lungs are completely free to breathe. Most importantly, it opens and activates the nerve centers corresponding to the chakras along the spine. The opening of each chakra unfolds new levels of consciousness. Therefore Yogis always sit down for deep meditation in Padmasana so-called Lotus Position.
