The Original Pi Meditation Bench is designed to foster correct spinal, physical and energetic alignment without putting stress on the knees. Most of one's weight is distributed on the ''sitz bones'' (ischial tuberosities) and the bench's lower contours comfortably angle and adjust to each person's needs. Each 7-1/4'' tall bench has a lustrous oil finish. Designed by Swami Ahamananda, and handcrafted in beautiful select hardwoods.
