Create your own place of meditation with this Asteya cushion, where you might sit comfortably and relaxed, away from the outside world!

As it is made of natural materials, you will feel the energy of nature while you meditate, practice yoga or simply relax.

Meditation

The Asteya Half-moon cushion is an excellent support in the practice of meditation in the lotus position, especially in combination with a Zabuton cushion that additionally protects the knees and ankles.

• Thigh Support: The curved shape of the cushion allows the thighs to rest comfortably on the cushion's surface, which can be particularly beneficial for individuals with tight hips or those who find sitting cross-legged for extended periods challenging.

• Heel Positioning: The half-moon shape also allows the heels to come closer to the body, which can help maintain a more stable and comfortable sitting position.

• Pelvic Tilt: The cushion's design naturally encourages a slight forward tilt in the hips, which can promote a natural curve in the lower back and support an upright meditation posture.

The spelt husks filling adjusts to the shape of the body, keeps the spine in the correct position throughout the practice, automatically improving breathing, blood circulation and energy.

How to use

The half-moon model of the meditation cushions is particularly suitable for intermediate or advanced level practice. It is only 12 cm in height, 45 in length, and 15 cm in width. Excellent for travel.
