...which shin, left or right, is in front/furthest away from you?

Are you right handed or left handed?

Right handed and right shin to the front.

emmathedilemma · 23/04/2023 16:56

Left shin to the front, i‘m right handed.
although now I’ve tried it, right in front is slightly better for my tight hips.

Mamadothehump · 23/04/2023 17:26

Right shin in front.
Left handed.
Right footed.

ItsCalledAConversation · 23/04/2023 17:27

Natural is right in front, I’m right handed. My right side is tighter than my left.

I've not sat cross legged for years!

If I sat on the floor nowadays I don't think I could get up. 😉

Right now i have a back issue & scabby knees, history of pantellar tendonitis to boot. So am not happy to conduct repeat tests. Pretty sure could be either shin in front, am mostly rt-handed.

CatOnTheChair · 23/04/2023 17:50

Right and right.
I just had to sit on the floor to find out tho!

MyFaceIsAnAONB · 23/04/2023 17:51

Left shin, right handed

hereiamagainn · 23/04/2023 17:52

right handed.

feel equally comfortable either way, but the first way I did is was right shin in front

BooksAndHooks · 23/04/2023 17:52

Left handed, left leg over right but I wrap left shin behind. So left though on top, right shin in front.

APseudonymNeeded · 23/04/2023 17:53

Right & Right.

I do yoga & when I have to swap over to stretch the other side it feels really uncomfortable.

slowquickstep · 23/04/2023 17:57

I can't remember that far back !

WheresTheForum · 23/04/2023 17:59

Left and left

IveNCToo · 23/04/2023 18:07

Right shin tucked under left. Right handed

SinnerBoy · 23/04/2023 18:09

I'm right handed, but my left shin goes to the front.

sixfoot · 23/04/2023 18:11

Can do either. Been practising yoga for 17 years though, am sure I couldn’t otherwise

InMySpareTime · 23/04/2023 18:13

Left handed and either leg. I find sitting with my feet together and knees out more comfortable than crossing over legs though.

Hmmph · 23/04/2023 18:14

I'm right handed. I can cross legs either way and they are equally comfortable but when I did it just now my left leg was in front to start off with.

eyesfullofstars · 23/04/2023 18:14

Idratherbepaddleboarding · 23/04/2023 18:17

Left and left, that’s interesting I’d never thought about it before!

DappledThings · 23/04/2023 18:18

DappledThings · 23/04/2023 18:18

Left-handed, right shin in front

Also right arm to the front when arms folded.

NEUserNamesNotTakenJeez · 23/04/2023 18:20

Right/right.

Anxietyrules247 · 23/04/2023 18:22

I'm assuming you mean sitting on a chair with one leg crossed over the other, as opposed to sitting on the floor in primary school position?

Right over left is most natural to me (right handed), but I often swap legs when I've been sitting a while.
