Males and females differ in their organs of the body, therefore Shariat has mentioned the law for males and females separately. Of we have to look at Haj, Salaah, etc we will notice that the there are some different rulings for males and females. In Salaah there are different rulings for males and females. We will notice that Jumu'a Salaah is not Fardh on a female. (Abu Dawood, Mishkaat, Vol.1, Page 1).
For a male the best place of worship is in the masjid whereas for a female the best place of worship is in her house, rather the corner of her room. (Abu Dawood, Mishkaat, Vol.1, Page 96). Shariat considered the purdah issue and made it such that the best place of worship for a lady is in the corner of her room.
The Sitting Position:
Ibni Abbas radhiyalla anho was asked regarding the Salaah of a female. He replied: "She must draw herself close together and lean onto one side, i.e. by resting on her left buttock." ("Al-Musannif li Ibni Shaybah", Vol.1, Page 270.)
It is mentioned in the
Musnad of
Imam Abu Hanifah (R.A.):
Ibni Umar radhiyalla anho was asked: "How did the women perform Salaah during the time of Rasulullah?" He replied: "They performed "Tarabbu'", then they were instructed to draw themselves close together (i.e. they should lean onto one side by resting on their left buttocks and completely contracting themselves.) ("Jami'ul Masaanid", Vol 1, Page 400)
"Tarabbu'" means to sit cross-legged. The women used to sit in this position before they were ordered to do the above and this position i.e. Tarabbu' was abrogated.

I sit once for thahashud then stand up for finally rakat once I read alhanduillah and a surah I raise my hand up saying Allahu akbar and then read rabbana atina fid dunya hasanataw till the end and then finish of the witr
you should try to learn dua Qunoot for witr prayers. it is sunnah and a wonderful dua.

Bismillah - surah fatiha + Bismillah - another surah - end of one rakat
Bismillah - surah fatiha + Bismillah - another surah - end of 2 rakat
or
Bismillah - surah al-fatiha + no bismillah then next surah - end of one rakat
no Bismillah - surah al-fatiha + no bismillah then next surah - end of 2 rakat
Jazak allah khair
# To read Ta'wwuz (only in the first Rakaat) (Ta'wwuz is audhobillah..)
# To recite the tasmiyyah (complete Bismillah) in every Rakaat before Surah Fatiha.
