"Thanks everyone! I've been going through a period of experimenting with different postures. God is fairly comfortable but inconvenient. I don't keep a chair in my Temple and don't like requiring one. Tried variations of cross-legged poses for a while but that didn't feel 'right' for me. I find myself actually wanting to sit in Dragon and looking forward to asana practice. I haven't tried using a bench yet but I'll give it a shot."
The Dragon is my favorite and I use it for a variety of different practices: prayers, adorations, meditation, etc. The pose fulfills best many ritual and other such functions as suited to my personality. As has been said, there is no reason to be concerned about the numbness of the feet and pain in that area after practice: the trick is not to overdo it. After gradual and steady progress your joints etc. will strengthen and you'll be able to hold the pose with more comfort.
