crossed legs

Having one's legs crossing each other, whether one is sitting, standing or lying.

If the legs are crossed at the ankles, use crossed ankles instead.

For the sitting style where the legs cross at the ankles "pretzel"-style (also known as agura in Japanese, or tailor's style in several European languages), use indian style.
