正座で足が痺れちゃった。足崩してもいい？
せいざであしがしびれちゃった。あしくずしてもいい？
My legs have fallen asleep from sitting in Seiza. May I relax my legs?

もちろん、崩して！痺れるよね、無理しないで。
もちろん、くずして！しびれるよね、むりしないで。
Of course, go ahead! It gets numb, so don't push yourself.
Gesture & etiquette
Smile warmly and gesture with your hand towards the floor to encourage them to relax their posture.
Avoid using polite keigo (desu/masu) as it sounds cold or distant between friends.
