Talk:Sitting

message: From VfD:
Yes, an encyclopedia is supposed to be a repository of knowledge, and yes, this is knowledge and it's all factual...but I think this is just pushing the edge of ridiculous. Generally, people do not need instructions to sit in a chair and if they did, I doubt the Wiki is the first place they'd look. PMC 06:45, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Keep. This is not only about sitting on a chair. And the article has potential of growth. BTW, what about sitting, sit?Mikkalai 07:13, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: When I was in elementary school, the teachers were clearly under the impression that "Indian Style" was the style of Native Americans.  Thanksgiving Indians, for example, sat indian style.   However, I have to question--  is this sitting style named after Native Americans, or is named after the residents of India?  Given the similarity to the clearly asian Lotus style, i'm inclined to suspect it might actually be named after the asian Indians.

thread_title:  Which Indian is Indian Style 

message: Is there a correct way to sit as to keep your back in good condition? Some people lean forward putting stress on one point in their back as they slouch. Others have their buttocks all the way back and sit up straight, which I think is better for your back and pose, though slightly more energy is needed to stay up. Any information on this? 70.111.251.203 13:02, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I know it's three years later but the article now has an answer for you: sitting up straight is bad for your back, and leaning back 45 degrees is the best way to do it. I read it today and found it hilarious. :D Lady BlahDeBlah (talk) 22:24, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Sitting is supposed to be having the buttocks on the ground or resting against a horizontal surface such as a chair seat yet the first two positions listed in Sitting#Yoga.2C_traditions.2C_and_spirituality are actually kneeling.--Penbat (talk) 18:00, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confusion with kneeling 

message: What is missing in the article (an I am not in any way an expert to add this) is whether it is something specific to humans or not. Do animals sit? I guess, mammals certainly have the resting posture I would consider sitting. The differences and similarities with regards to humans and animals sitting are not addressed at all. I'd be grateful if someone more knowledgeable than me in the subject would do it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.214.129.12 (talk) 07:21, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
