Opinion on the cross-legged chair: The Yogi Seat in the test
Hey guys,
I'm Nadia and I'd like to share my personal journey with you and tell you how the YogiSeat cross-legged chair has turned my everyday work life upside down.
As a young woman with a hectic lifestyle and an office job, I spend most of my day sitting. But I've always had trouble finding comfortable positions on conventional chairs. The usual sitting positions often felt uncomfortable and restrictive to me. I'm always crossing one leg over the other, sitting on one, and sliding further and further down the backrest. None of this is REALLY comfortable, and it can't be healthy in the long run. My body made me feel this after a long day at work in the form of severe headaches and back pain.
I even tried out some of my colleagues' chairs. Unfortunately, so far, there's been no real improvement. 90 degrees in my hips and knees just doesn't seem to be for me.
The topic of ergonomic sitting had slipped into the background for me until one day, when I was invited to a friend's house for coffee after work, I discovered this strange chair under her desk. I had to try it out right away and realized it was exactly what I'd been looking for!
When I first sat down on the chair, I was pleasantly surprised by how stable and comfortable it felt, and how easily and naturally I could slide from one sitting position to the next. I was fascinated by the idea of a chair that supported various poses I found comfortable, such as cross-legged, kneeling, etc.
When I got home, I ordered my own YogiSeat that same evening.
The wait felt like an eternity, but once it was there, it didn't take long for me to get used to it and feel the benefits. In fact, I could sit comfortably in so many different positions without feeling cramped or stiff.
What really makes the YogiSeat special for me, though, is the improvement in my flexibility and mobility, which I noticed after just a few weeks. I felt looser and more flexible, especially in my hips and legs. I used to struggle with tension and pain, but those problems have almost completely disappeared. The YogiSeat allows me to gently stretch my body, making me feel significantly more flexible and agile.
The YogiSeat has also made a difference in my yoga and meditation practice. I like to sit cross-legged during meditation. It gives me a sense of freedom and makes me feel relaxed. With the YogiSeat as support, I can adopt such a stable and comfortable position that allows me to fully concentrate on my practices without having to worry about my posture—right at my desk.
So if, like me, you struggle with conventional chairs and prefer other sitting positions, I highly recommend the YogiSeat. It has completely transformed my sitting experience and given me a new level of comfort and freedom of movement. The easiest way is to try it out for yourself. I definitely wouldn't want to be without it in my daily life!
Your Nadia!
