In the anapana it's not practical to move around because that makes the subtlty of feeling the breath more difficult, but in mindfulness, vipassana, insight, meditation they specify four poses: sitting, lying down, standing and walking. This is still best formally practiced in a seated position. There are 3 reasons why other postures are sensible. 1) When the seated position becomes too painful, then standing or walking for a little while helps to maintain continuous practice; 2) Lying down is because people practice in bed; and 3) it is a continuous practice, so walking eating washing up, writing posts - everything is mindfulness.
