HIP SUPPORT & HEAD REST

Our most straight forward product has also proved to be one of the most popular. It is a simple inclined platform but made to the same specification as the benches & stools.


Originally intended as a hip support it is used during crossed legged sitting and also some yoga postures to maintain the hips at an angle that can comfortably support the back 








Now it is also widely used as a head support, most usually during body scan meditations but also for certain yoga postures.

THE 'SEVERN' - MEDITATION STOOL

The 'Severn' meditation stool is probably our most popular to date is it provides all the stability of the classic meditation bench with the ease of use of the T-Stool. 

Like the T-Stool it gives the practitioner a very comfortable support when using the so-called Japanese style of kneeling but the two legs make the posture far more stable, if that is what is required.

Furthermore, we round off the front edges of the two legs making it possible to rock forward in the posture so tilting the seat at the optimum angle. This is particularly true for the taller practitioners among us, and as both Alan and I are well over 6ft, the 'Severn' is particularly suited to us!

.......The 'Severn' meditation stool is an ideal 'one size fits all' option for yoga and meditation schools and retreats.

For those needing more support than the T-Stool    

All of our benches are made by hand in Nordic Redwood pine which is a renewable source. It is a relatively soft wood which means we do not have to resort to excessive machining when working the wood. 

Whenever possible we avoid all metal screws, nails and fastenings as we prefer to hand dowel (the exception is the foldable bench)

We finish the wood by applying natural beeswax by hand which gives a wonderful silken honey tone.

CLASSIC MEDITATION BENCH

Our CLASSIC MEDITATION BENCH is what started it all...

We became very interested in the study of mindfulness which included following the 8 week MBSR course pioneered by Jon Kabat-Zinn and offered by Bangor University. As novices to mediation we found that the suggestion in the course notes to use a bench to aid comfort during meditation was a great idea - so we did!

A fortune would have it this came at a time when we had decided that we wanted to offer a variety of products that we could make in our Hereford workshop that would use natural, organic and renewable materials. As a result we decided to develop a series of benches and stools that would be able to help people of all ages, shapes and sizes to enjoy their meditation practice in comfort while, at the same time, employing a grounded posture.

THE T-STOOL MEDITATION STOOL

The T-Stool was designed with economy of materials, weight & space in mind. This provides less support than the other benches and stools and so is meant for practitioners who enjoy a good sense of balance and who are perhaps close to dispensing with supports of any kind.

Like all the other supports it is hand made & finished with our natural beeswax and it can also be altered according to specific requirements provided the overall structure remains the same.

Wood: Nordic Redwood - renewable source

Finish: Clear natural beeswax - hand applied

NB: wood dowling only - no screws or other metal fastenings

FOLDABLE MEDITATION BENCH

The 'foldable' version of the Classic Meditation Bench was produced to meet the demands of practitioners who want to use a classic style meditation bench but with the convenience of being able to carry it in their kit bags or luggage. It's light, strong and like all our wood items is made of from wood only from renewable sources with a minimum of machining.



Where we have had to compromise is in our use of metal hinges. We like to avoid metal items but will be transparent about it when we have to. We are trying to source re-cycled metal hinges and will be pleased to use them when we find a suitable product and supplier. As always, the wood is hand finished with natural beeswax that we get from an apiary in our home village in the Severn Valley, Gloucestershire.

The bench provides a beautifully natural way to maintain a dignified and upright pose without strain on the spine, pelvis and knees.
