well, your biceps longus is the muscle on the top of your thigh. You engage this muscle when you lift it while in the sitting position. the , once the leg is crossed, it is gravity that keeps your leg in place. ( I think :) )
Three Legged Cross's population is 1,500.
Sitting cross-legged can lead to poor posture, which may strain the lower back and hips over time. It can also restrict blood flow to the legs and increase pressure on the knees, potentially causing discomfort or pain. Additionally, prolonged cross-legged sitting might exacerbate muscle imbalances and contribute to stiffness in the hips and lower body. Regularly changing positions and incorporating stretches can help mitigate these effects.
In my style, Shorin-Ryu (and probably others), Kosa Dachi roughly translates to Cross-legged stance.
Practicing yoga in the sitting cross-legged position can improve flexibility, posture, and focus. It can also help calm the mind and reduce stress.
The sartorius is a long, strap-like muscle located in the anterior thigh. Its main function is to flex, abduct, and laterally rotate the hip joint, as well as to flex the knee joint. This muscle plays a key role in movements such as crossing the legs and is often referred to as the "tailor's muscle" because of its association with sitting cross-legged.
The sartorius muscle - the longest muscle in the human body - is a long thin muscle that runs down the length of the thigh in the anterior compartment. Its upper portion forms the lateral border of the femoral triangle.
The sartorius is a long, thin muscle located in the thigh. It runs from the hip to the knee, crossing over the front of the thigh, and is involved in actions like flexing, abducting, and laterally rotating the hip, as well as flexing the knee. It is often referred to as the "tailor's muscle" because its actions are similar to the position a tailor assumes while sitting cross-legged. This muscle is the longest in the human body.
Why do all muscle cross a joint? Define the attachment points of muscle to bone?
Cross-striations form cardiac muscle. The crossed formation makes the tissue and muscle stronger.

That would be the rectus femoris.
It suggests you are a student of yoga and/or meditation and have been focused on the crown chakra. In other words, sitting cross legged suggests meditation and spiritual discipline. Beginning to fly suggests attaining spiritual enlightenment.
