From the Back CoverBench Yoga is a perfect blend of meditation and yoga that anyone can do. If you can sit in a chair, you can do it. If you can sit in Lotus Pose, you can still benefit from it. And the ancient tradition of a sitting bench can help you get from one to the other!
Make Yoga EasierNot everyone can get down to the floor-or get back up again. Not everyone can do the asanas (poses) without support. But most everyone can sit! That's where the Yoga Bench comes in.
Sit straight, meditate, progress to Full LotusYour Yoga practice should make it possible to sit long and sit strong. Why? To meditate! It's always been the goal of Yoga. A bench can help you develop your capacity to sit effortlessly and comfortably.
Connect with an Ancient TraditionAll over India there are pictures and sculptures of gods and ancient gurus sitting on a bench, a tree stump-even the back of a cow or tiger! Typically, they are sitting with one leg up, and one down. They knew something!
Improve your Yoga/Meditation practice
