Sitting cross legged on bench?

Hello everyone!

Is sitting like this good or bad for you?


kinda like this?

I've seen many tailors sew either like this, or they sit cross legged with one knee over the other. Is the posture bad for your knees? Or is it better to sit in a chair? Some say one way is uncomfortable, or they say it is comfortable. Thanks!

I am a strong advocate of good posture and teaching students good habits like raising your work to your face, not lowering your face to your work. That's why, in the workshop, we have height adjustable boards, and students are banned from sitting on them.
