General definition (in Buddhism)
Source: A Buddhist Library: In This Very LifeStanding refers to one of the Traditional Four Postures (used in any type of meditation).—Suitable and appropriate activities can bring about insight knowledge. Seven types of suitability should be met in order to create an environment that is supportive of meditation practice. [...] The seventh and last kind of suitability is that of posture. [...] Beginning yogis should avoid the lying and the standing postures. The standing posture can bring about pain in a short while: tightness and pressure in the legs, which can disrupt the practice.
