Our society forces us to spend countless hours sitting or hanging motionless in unnatural ways. Our ergonomic chair is designed for people struggling with a standardized cross-legged position, but is also found to be enjoyed in various situations. Whether you practice Vipassana meditation or are doing hero or lotus cross-legged pose, it will help you maintain your posture, stay focused, and relax. By tucking your legs underneath it and sitting upright, it will prevent fatigue and leg numbing, ease back or neck pain, remove strain, and allow you to enter very deep meditative states without shifting positions. For those who have hip, ankle, or knee problems, or are not very flexible, this bench will offer an effortless sitting experience in kneeling. This stylish bench is also a great conversation starter. Sit in many positions with perfect alignment so you are comfortable while meditating. Designed and handmade in local massive wild cherrywood with a beautiful wood finish for long lasting durability, enjoy a more natural and comfortable way of sitting while eating at a coffee table, reading, working, playing with kids.
