Anthony,

Why not?  After all, the objective of the sitting posture is to
facilitate clear mind. However, there is power in group practice when
all are in traditional sitting postures, thought not necessarily in full
lotus.

sit on a chair. My experiences show that as long as I can keep a clear
mind without too much daydreaming or drowsiness, I will feel comfortable
and happy after the sitting. Zen Master Seung Sahn had a (western)
student, who was like me, unable to sit in a lotus position.
