Traditional Context
Traditional Context
Paramahansa Yogananda specified in his lessons that the meditator should sit on a seat of wool and silk — materials understood in yogic tradition to insulate the body's pranic energy and resist the downward pull of earth currents. The cushion is not incidental to practice. It is where practice begins.
FAQ
FAQ
What height cushion is right for me?
As a general guide — if your knees float above your hips when seated cross-legged, choose a higher cushion. If your hips tilt forward naturally, a lower or wedge style may suit better. Contact us if you are unsure.
Can I wash the cushion cover?
The silk and wool cover should be spot cleaned only. Do not machine wash. Remove the cover carefully and allow to air dry flat away from direct sunlight.
Is the cushion suitable for chair meditation?
The wedge cushion works well on a chair — placed under the sitting bones it encourages the same forward tilt of the pelvis that supports upright posture.
How long will it last?
With daily use and proper care, several years at minimum. The inner fill can be replaced if needed — contact us and we will assist.

A Lifetime Seat, Honestly Made
Raw dupioni silk. Pure 100% wool. Cut and sewn in small batches by our seamstresses in Canada and San Diego, following the instruction the Guru gave for the yogi’s seat.
That is Laura at her table in San Diego. Sourcing the dupioni, finding wool that is genuinely all wool, and joining them with unhurried hands is slow work. An asana is not replaced each season. It accompanies decades of morning and evening sits, and the price reflects the materials and the hours it takes to make it well.

One of the meditation techniques taught by SRF Guru Paramahansa Yogananda has the practitioner resting the arms or elbows on the Arm Rest. If the practice of the technique is long the arms or elbows can become sore. For me, that problem has been totally solved by the arm test pads.
The armrest cushions are soft but firm & fit well on the armrest.
Happy other than high postage cost to the UK.
Would still recommend 🙏🏻
