meditation pose

Cross-legged contemplation position

A meditation pose is a seated position used for contemplative practice, typically cross-legged on the floor with spine erect and hands resting on the knees or in the lap.

The lotus position is the most iconic, but simpler variations like sitting in a chair also qualify.
