one should practice.
After controlling one’s mind and sitting postures, one should spread a seat in a secluded and sanctified place, sit there in an easy posture, keeping the body erect, and practice breath control.
Purport
Sitting in an easy posture is called svasti samāsīnaḥ. It is recommended in the yoga scripture that one should put the soles of the feet between the two thighs and ankles and sit straight; that posture will help one to concentrate his mind on the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This very process is also recommended in Bhagavad-gītā, Sixth Chapter. It is further suggested that one sit in a secluded, sanctified spot. The seat should consist of deerskin and kuśa grass, topped with cotton.

Translation
Mastering the āsanas, he should establish his seat in a clean place and sitting in svastikāsana, keeping the body straight, he should practice controlling the breath.
The āsana and other features are described. The āsana should be kuśa and deer skin, covered with cloth. On that he should sit in svasti position: placing the foot of one leg on the thigh of the other. He should sit and practice controlling the breath.
