'''Vajrasana''' (/vədʒˈrɑːsᵻnᵻ/; IAST: vajrāsana), "vajra Pose", is a sitting asana in yoga. It is a kneeling position sitting on the heels. A person need not be sitting in an erect position to do it.
== Etymology ==
The name comes from the Sanskrit words vajra meaning "thunderbolt" or "diamond like", and asana (आसन, āsana) meaning "posture" or "seat".
== Description ==
The practitioner sits on the heels with the calves beneath the thighs. There is a four finger gap between the knee-caps, and the first toe of both the feet touch each other and sit erect.
== Benefits ==
This asana helps in digestive issues like constipation. It also strengthens the muscles of the legs and back.
