Spherical meditation cushions—zafus—are customary fare in most yoga and meditation areas. For many individuals, these cushions do the job. They elevate the pelvis to make it simpler to sit down with a relaxed, straight backbone. However for some, particularly for these with hip joints that simply externally rotate, the contact level the place your thighs grasp off the sting of the cushion can get uncomfortable, particularly in lengthy sittings. That’s why Hugger Mugger designed the V-Formed Meditation Cushion.
