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.Srimad Bhagavatam 3.28.8
Alignment of the Mind
Relinquish the thoughts of past and futureKeep bringing attention back to the chanting
Forget the past that sleeps and ne'erThe future dream at all,But act in time that are with theeAnd progress thee shall call.

Flowing in the flow of the Mantra
The yogī should clear the passage of vital air by breathing
in the following manner: first he should inhale very deeply,
then hold the breath in, and finally exhale. Or, reversing the
process, the yogi can first exhale, then hold the breath
outside, and finally inhale. This is done so that the mind
may become steady and free from external disturbances.
Srimad Bhagavatam 3.28.9 translation
