The practice of sitting with legs crossed while using an office chair is increasingly visible due to online video platforms. This involves positioning oneself in a seated posture on a typical office chair with either one or both legs folded beneath the individual, resembling a cross-legged or similar configuration. An example would be a user filming a video on a social media platform from their desk, while seated in their chair in such a manner.
This posture can offer perceived comfort or a change from conventional seating positions during extended periods of desk work. Some individuals find it promotes a sense of relaxation or improved focus. Historically, variations of seated postures have been adapted across different cultures and work environments to suit individual preferences and comfort requirements, although the prevalence of visibility has greatly increased due to social media sharing.
