Vajrasana comes from the Sanskrit words vajra, meaning “thunderbolt,” “diamond-like,” or “adamant/firmness,” and asana, meaning “posture.”
Vajrasana enhances blood circulation in the lower abdomen, improving digestion. Relieves excessive gas trouble or pain. Nerves of legs and thighs are strengthened. Its practice makes knees and ankle joints flexible and prevents certain rheumatic diseases.
