kneeling pose
On bent knees
A kneeling pose is a position where one or both knees rest on the ground.
The term appears most often in yoga, photography, and art direction: Hold the kneeling pose for five breaths.
In portraiture and figure drawing, it typically means both knees down with the torso upright, distinguished from poses where only one knee touches the ground.
