What is better for me? A meditation pouf or a round meditation pillow?

A meditation cushion round is a commonly used tool in meditation. However, there are different types of cushions available, such as the byAlex meditation pouf. The main difference between the two is that the meditation pouf holds its shape better than the round meditation cushion and it feels way firmer but is not heavy at all. This can be useful for people who like to have a firm surface while meditating or if you want o use a meditation pouf in multiple ways. In addition, the height and firmness of the cushion can contribute to its suitability for different meditation postures. the byAlex poufs are 15 cm high. This is a bit higher than the common meditation pillows. A sturdy meditation pouf can also be used as a yoga prop. The design of the cushion can also play a role in choosing between a meditation pouf and a round meditation cushion. Finally, the mobility of the cushion may be important, such as if it needs to be moved often. The byAlex mediation pouf has a handy handle so you can easily move it around (with one hand while you have a cup of tea in the other ;-)). In general, a meditation pouf offers more firmness and support, while a round meditation cushion offers more flexibility in use and design.

It can also be used as a footrest to help relieve fatigue and aching muscles in your feet or legs.
In addition, you can use the round meditation pouf with multiple yoga exercises and can be used as a yoga prop or as a replacement for a bolster. For example, place the firm meditation pouf behind your back when you lay down for a great stretch in your spine. But you can also use a firm meditation pouf in an exercise called Melting Heart Pose (Anahatasana). Place your elbows on the meditation pouf when bending forward. In this way, your heart can really meltdown which is a great relief for your shoulders.

This is how this pose works in detail:
Start the pose by sitting on your knees, and place the meditation pouf about 30 cm/ 40 cm in front of you. Move forward until your hips are straight above your knees. Now place your elbows on the meditation pouf, and your hand point to the ceiling. Now bring your upper body to the mat (melt your heart). Lengthen your back and tilt your pelvis so that you have a slightly concave lower back. Your forehead, or perhaps even your chin, can rest on the meditation pillow. Your arms and shoulders are relaxed as much as possible. Breathe in and out as gently as possible for around 3 to 5 minutes. Come back slowly and rest in child's pose.

Combine your exercise on a thick yoga mat for ultimate comfort (also called yin yoga mats). We also have a combination of a yoga mat and pillow for ultimate comfort.
