1. One of the most famous of
Tantric sexual positions in which a woman sits astride facing her partner who is also sitting. In this position the
chakras are aligned. Working with simultaneous or alternate breathing patterns while in this
asana can enhance the supposed effects of this position.

2. (Tibetan) Father—Mother. It refers to the classical Tantric lovemaking posture, in which the person on the bottom sits in the lotus position (or a modified form thereof) with a partner astride.
