You can imagine your yoga lotus position only with a female partner straddling on top of you or in front of you.However, the lotus position works regardless of gender identity – you’re free to reverse roles and create slight variations to the pose. It represents the union of masculine, penetrative energies (Shiva) and feminine, receptive energies (Shakti).
The Lotus position or padmasana is a remarkably intimate position to try out – for the reason you and your partner are in a full-body embrace.
