*Sit on the base of the pelvis after doing padmasana. Rest both buttocks evenly on the floor. If you sit more on one than the other, the spine will be uneven. Press the thighs down to the floor, bringing the thigh bones deeper into the hip sockets. Stretch the skin of the quadriceps towards the knees. Brings the hamstrong muscles closer in order to lessen the distance between the thighs. Then the anus and the genitals will not rest on the floor. The line of gravity here is a very small area of the perineum between the anus and the genitals. The upward stretch of the spine begins from here and the body is simultaneously lifted upwards and sideways from the inner frame of the pelvis. Try and keep the top and bottom of the pubic areas perpendicular. If this is difficult, sit with the buttocks resting on a rolled blanket. In padmasana both knees will not rest evenly on the floor.
*Do not turn the soles of the feet up to the ceiling, but keep them facing the side walls. Stretch the metatarsals, by turning big toes towards the little ones, then the arches of the feet remain firm. If either arch drops, then the buttocks and anus lose their grip, the trunk inclines and the spine sags in the middle, disturbing the whole balance of the torso. Do not spread out the knees or deliberately press them to touch the floor. Any such attempt will only disturb the centre of gravity. Later, due to regular practice, through the knee remains above the ground one does not feel it. In order to get evenness in balance on the hips, it is advisable to rest the knee which is above the ground on a rolled towel. Change the crossing of the legs on alternate days to get evenness in balance.
