In yoga there are classical postures that are recommended for the seated practices of pranayama and meditation. Vajrasana and padmasana are the main two postures recommended. The procedure that yoga practice follows is to enable the body to stay comfortably in these postures for a period of time. Providing that the correct procedure (vinyasa krama) is followed, one should be able to master the classical seated postures and stay comfortably in them In practice people often choose another position they are comfortable in or use cushions or blocks to support themselves in the seated position. They may do this because they cannot do the classical posture or they decide to choose something else they like personally. I would guess that a similar scenario applies to musicians.

However one sees most musicians perform in Ardha Padmasana posture. Any idea why this is the case? Vajrasana is I believe is the recommended seated posture for Indian classical musicians.
