half lotus
Partial cross-legged pose
Half lotus is a seated meditation posture where one foot rests on the opposite thigh while the other foot tucks beneath the opposite leg.
It's a more accessible variation of full lotus, which places both feet on opposite thighs.
I can't do full lotus yet, so I sit in half lotus.
