Meet the The British-Iranian cellists Leila and Sara Shirvani
Face the cello slightly toward your right so you can easily reach the strings. Using your left hand, angle your cello so its strings are facing slightly toward your right. This will make it easier to reach all the strings without slouching as you play. - Check to see if any parts of your body feel tense or uncomfortable. If they do, you should make adjustments to your posture, the height of your chair, or the height of your cello until you are comfortable holding it.
