1. Be seated on an unarmed chair, stool, bench or bed of appropriate height.

2. Feet resting flat on floor, thighs and calves right angled, knees joined, hands resting over it with palms facing thighs or postured in Gyana Mudra.

3. Back, neck and head held straight up right, shoulders and hand relaxed, face muscles relaxed, gaze fixed on tip of nose. That is a perfect Maitri Asana.
