Do you struggle to find a comfortable meditation seat?

Finding a comfortable meditation seat can be half of the battle when meditating.

It's kinda like Goldilocks and The Three Bears. She wants her porridge to be just right. We want the same for our meditation seat. Because having a supportive, sturdy seat allows us to stay in stillness longer.

In this quick yoga tips video, I offer 17 different ways you can prop your seat. I use a combination of yoga blocks, blankets, a bolster, a zafu, a zabuton, and a meditation bench. You can always substitute yoga blocks for pillows (the firmer the better). Grab whatever household items you need to create a supportive seat. Other options for propping that aren't included in this video are the edge of a bed, a couch, a chair, an ottoman, or a bench.
