Sawanté bolsters were planned to be used at restorative yoga classes but we ended up using them in every class. Under the seat during meditation, under the knees during Savasana, for sacred rollings during rituals and teacher trainings, in some of the asanas as well. What was meant to be a tiny extra value for our students, has become another level of comfort at Milana Yoga studio.

Major part of people do sedentary work and/or suffer from limited body mobility. This severely affects the core muscles, lower back, and causes pain. Meditation cushion allows not only to sit naturally and comfortably, but also, to reduce muscle tension and lower back pain. Good posture results in regular and deep breathing due to non-restrictive diaphragm. Bolster helps to stretch muscles naturally without stress and harm. I would recommend using it for asanas, stretching and pilates exercises, as well as, as a back support during meditation practice.
