By the way, you might try a 14" wooden hoop and sit where you can lean the top edge of it on a table in front of you. Sometimes I use a a portable table that can be height adjusted. When I was younger and more limber I used to sit with one leg/foot up in the chair with my knee leaning against the arm and the hoop propped on my knee.
