Woman in lotus position: dark skin tone Emoji

People

A dark-skinned woman sitting on the floor with her legs crossed and her hands resting on her knees in a classic meditative pose. She is depicted wearing athletic clothing, typical of modern yoga or mindfulness practice.

Usage Context

Used to denote relaxation, inner peace, or the practice of yoga. It is frequently sent to signal that someone is busy meditating, needs a moment of quiet, or is trying to reach a state of zen after a stressful day. It works well alongside related wellness icons like 🧘 or 🕉️.

History

The base meditation emoji was introduced in Unicode 10.0 in 2017. The ability to modify this character with skin tones and gender specifications followed shortly after, reflecting a push to make digital expressions more inclusive and representative of real-world yoga practitioners.
