Handmade Wooden Meditation Bench
Wooden Meditation Bench
Handmade Wooden Meditation Bench (Locally Crafted)

This handmade wooden meditation bench is suitable for all shapes and sizes of people and allows for proper and effortless back alignment during meditation.  Many with knee and back problems find meditating in the lotus or half lotus positions impossible.  While regular chairs can be used in meditation, they often feel less grounding and are difficult to sustain proper alignment in. 

 ($45.00)
