The Cambridge cross is my go-to sitting pose

[princesslyna]

In my home I was learned how to talk, how walk, how sit like a elegant woman and I loved that. I love these lessons.

Thank you for not leaving men out, as it usually happens. We all need to sit elegantly, not just women.

I just tried all of then for 5 mind each and they were all really uncomfortable... It would definitely take a good bit of practice to be able to handle anything other than just crossing my legs lol😊

Hi Myka,
I’ve had my fair share trying all the mentioned. I prefer the “Cambridge Cross”. I’m 5’2 in height and the “Sussex Slant” was very uncomfortable for me especially on the train. Also I’ve been told that crossing your leg on top of the other for long periods of time can hinder blood flow so I prefer crossing at the ankles.

Can you teach how to sit and get up, on a dining chair or normal chair elegantly, pls teach how to rise up

[Adrijabhattacharya]

Cambridge Cross is the best and most comfortable one. Yeah. I personally tried all of them and Cambridgre Cross looks the most modest and is the most comfortable.

Cute video! My mother taught me to never cross my legs at the knee because it can cause broken veins so I’ve never let myself sit that way. Miss manners also says that men nor women should cross their legs at the knee. Men can rest one ankle on one knee like you suggested (but your photos didn’t seem to show) and women may cross their ankles which you demonstrated so beautifully. 😍

The Cambridge cross is my favourite.

Finally, an elegant sitting position that won't cut off my circulation.

Love this video! Short, informative and precise. Thank you!❤️

I'm 14 and surprise myself doing the Cambridge cross while watching this video. It's a trick I learned when I was 10 while watching a YouTube video😂😂

That Sussex slant can wreak havoc on your ankles and on your pumps.. bending the heel after a while like that can cause some bending.

[judybraden]

WOW!
Thank YOU!
Keep up the good work!

[sarasaxena]

Omg! I needed this. Thank you so much!

[wegoedl]

[peacefulmindtoday]

Very classy! Which do you prefer? Duchess or Cambridge cross?

[subway]

I love you channel! I recently bought your book, and you're not kidding when you say it's not your grandmother's etiquette book!

[pamelaannmelcher]

Myka, thanks so much for your wonderful videos! Now I want to know about your shoes; they are gorgeous black patent leather.

[kimc]

Thank you for your video. I will definitely practice because my legs are too far for these right off the bat 😅
