sitting position

Posture while seated

A sitting position is any posture in which the body rests on the buttocks rather than standing or lying down.

The phrase appears most often in instructions or descriptions: Return to a sitting position, He pulled himself into a sitting position.

It encompasses everything from cross-legged on the floor to upright in a chair.
