> You are half-sitting on it.
one has to be careful with Siddhasana, and I am a bit bothered that
I said 'you are half-sitting' on your heel. I really regret this
language. Don't "half-sit" on your heel, with your heel on your
perineum. Sit with your heel putting a light, comfortable pressure
on your perineum.
Gentlemen can give themselves a 'saddle-injury' if they really sit on
something hard which is against their perineum. Inside the perineum
area is basically the penis -- not the part you may be used to
seeing, but its root. Don't hurt it. Permanent damage could be
done. (Some poor cyclists have done themselves permanent damage this
way, by sitting badly on the saddle. The result of nerve damage in
this area is impotence problems.) This is not an instance in which
you want to summon up ascetic resistance to pain.
I think people should really consider a rubber ball instead of the
heel there, as Dharma Mitra has suggested below. Maybe even quite a
soft ball? There are no brownie-points gained in yoga from not using
props.
At the same time I don't want to be sensational or scare people. But
it is good to know that what you are pressing against is basically
your penis, and you should think accordingly.
Best regards,
-David

hi all
here is one small suggestion
- while replying to a mail please retain the subject alone and not the contents for this unnecessarily increases the length of the mail.
if the second person also adds his comments on same subject then the length is trebled.
once the subject is known if anybody wants to refer the content he can always go to that mail and see.
regards
MGV

Hello there.
If you read lesson 28 in the Tantra section you will find clear
instructions on Siddhasana for both men and women. So it is quite wrong
to say Siddhisana is just for men.

two helpful pages going into specifics:
http://www.yahooyoga.com/yyh1c55.htm
http://www.eng.vedanta.ru/library/k..._posture.php
note that every smart resource I've seen contraindicates this pose for those with sciatica.
Yogani might want to make note of this
