This pose is also known by several names, as the flyer sits cross-legged, elbows opposite elbows on the knees like a thinker, or placing the hands on the crossed legs as if waiting for instructions from the boss, like a secretary. In Hungary, we even call this pose a bar stool, because how would a flyer sit on a bar stool, sipping a cocktail?
You can take the pose from straddle throne and reverse straddle throne, these are two different poses, and there is an easier version of the pose when the base also supports the flyer with the other leg.
