I’m a large guy 6 ft 1 in and 280 LBS.
I struggle to sit criss cross for an hour because my legs get tired and my thunder thighs sorta push me off kilter and I wanna lean back.
So I’ve been sitting on my shins instead and this is way better for maintaining posture but I have just barely 20 minutes before my legs fall asleep and then it hurts once I get up to journal.
I don’t want to use a chair or a pillow because I travel a lot and there’s no guarantee I’ll have those with me.
Any position suggestions? Maybe I’ll look into a pillow or mat.
If you’re sitting on the floor, no matter what position, the key thing is that your hips should be higher than your knees. That lets your back rest in its natural curve which reduces stress and lets you sit longer and more comfortably. A firm cushion or low stool does that.
