This would be a very individual thing, depending on where you were and what you were praying. In Church, if you are praying the Offices with religious, you would be in Choir and sitting, standing, or kneeling, as everybody else was. The same in a Church when at Mass. At private devotions, you could be kneeling, standing, sitting, or prostrate on the floor; praying out loud, or reading silently. You might be holding a rosary if you are praying the rosary devotion, or walking between the Stations, if you are praying the Stations.
