Great little meditation bench

This is a great little meditation bench. It helps your core while you meditate but is not distracting to your meditation It is light enough to use as a portable meditation cushion for travel.

Finally my meditation posture has improved

I have been struggling with meditation posture for many years. I have tried almost all: Sitting on a cushion with different cross-legged postures, sitting on a flat chair on a suitable wedge-shaped cushion, sitting on different kind of benches, etc. Then I decided to give Ekam Meditation Bench a chance! At first I felt a bit strange due to the unique one-leg, because there is some kind of instability present (very little indeed), but finally one gets used and the posture eventually become firm and stable. Precisely, the unique one-leg allows to make some kind of adjustments to the posture during the meditation session. Once sitting on the bench I feel my back very confortable: straight but with no pressure; the shoulders are open and the hands rest over the juncture of abdomen and thighs naturally. For me (I'm 6 feet tall) the height of the bench is perfect. The bench is light but has an appearance of solidity. Since I love minimalist designs in general, I appreciate very much this beautiful bench. I love it!
