Single leg meditation bench

Single legged Seiza bench

I went on a ten-day silent Buddhist meditation retreat on Denman Island this July. After puzzling over it initially, I tried and like the one-legged meditation bench they had there. Instead of having wide legs at each end, they have a single, curved leg in the middle. There is something about finding one's own balance on them that is very freeing to the spine. If you are familiar with them, I would love to see a pattern for making one on your site, or the item for sale. I imagine I am not alone in liking the single-legged stool.

(I have never come across this kind of meditation stool before - but I will certainly see what I can find out about it - thanks very much for your interesting input....Ian Kerr)
