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

Are you right handed or left handed?

I'm easy, I can chuck them whichever way I like - it makes little or no difference to me.

ZosieTatien · 23/04/2023 18:47

Left and left. I tried the other way and it felt awkward and weird.

DramaAlpaca · 23/04/2023 18:52

Right and right.

That's interesting. I've just tried several times and found I have no preference.
I am fairly ambidextrous although use my right hand more often than left for writing (use my left hand for other things though).
However crossed arms is definitely right over left.

Right handed

right shin forward when sitting cross legged on the floor

but always do my left leg over my right when sitting cross legged on a chair

been wondering lately if I should practice the opposite ways to even the stress on my body out?! Surely we must all end up with twisty spines from favouring one way over the other?

I almost invariably do that, too.

What about shoe donning order? Slippers and slip ons are always right foot first. Lace up boots and trainers, right foot, then left, tie left laces then right laces.

I only realised that when it was asked on another forum!

I meant cross legged on the floor like in primary school.

I hadn't sat on the floor for years too, until I had kids! Now I spend half my waking hours on the floor bored out of my brain so started thinking about such questions 😂

I sit right shin in front (feels weird the other way) and I'm right handed.

Folding my arms: left forearm is over my right.

Right shin and right handed.

At 57 (eek! how did that happen) and not a yoga bunny I’m just happy that I can still do it comfortably and get up easily enough.

Climbingthelaundrymountain · 23/04/2023 20:10

Right and right.

Heroicallyfound · 23/04/2023 20:14

@SinnerBoy oh weird, now I think a bout it I always put my left shoe on first. I had no idea I was so orderly! 😂

Oddsocks55 · 23/04/2023 20:18

Right handed, left shin on top

Left-handed, right shin in front

Same here

Shelby1981 · 23/04/2023 22:55

Right in front and right handed. Literally unable to cross my legs the other way

Lamelie · 24/04/2023 07:00

Right handed. Legs cross either way and my knees touch. I’m her mobile and have no muscles!💁🏻‍♀️

Lamelie · 24/04/2023 07:00

Hyper mobile

barelyfunctional · 24/04/2023 07:15

Left leg front but can do either way
Right arm front, can do the other way but it just feels wrong
Right handed

I wonder if everyone does it in a particular way, all the time?

doadeer · 24/04/2023 08:28

I would naturally do right in front but I change it up a lot in yoga. I can do either comfortably and could stay in that position quite a long time. I'm hypermobile too. Right handed
