For OW students, I am opposed to showing the lotus position as a demonstration of hover. There is no practical value and it only confuses students.
However, for DM or Instructors, sure make them do the lotus. If the candidate can hover effortlessly in horizontal position, then this skills is more about trim than bouyancy. Weight position is important to comprehend and apply, and attempting to hover in the lotus position tests this quite well.
Best of luck to the OP.
