The original article shows its ignorance of mindfulness when it says, "But, what happens if you don’t enjoy sitting in lotus pose for hours? Can you still practice mindfulness? Good news! The answer is yes. In fact, there are several unsuspecting ways to participate in an activity with intention and reap similar benefits" and then goes on to suggest reciting poetry, gardening and walking.
You don't have to sit in a "lotus pose" to practise mindful breathing and if you're a beginner, and doing it properly, you shouldn't be doing it for hours. You would start with about 10 or 15 minutes.
