BLOG: Summer’s Here and Breeze Travel Bolsters and Sit Cushions help you take your practice on the road

The bheka BREEZE Zafu can be used on any chair you will sit on for long periods of time to alleviate back strain caused by static inflexible positions.

The bheka BREEZE round pleated sit cushion is traditional and contemporary all at once. The cover is the same design we’ve been making for decades but the insert is an inflatable cushion designed to give firm lightweight support to the traveling meditator.

The BREEZE Zafu is slightly rounded at the top and if you move on it moves with you like a ball chair. While you can sit in meditation poses with it on a chair as shown above, you can also use it as a cushion for your chair at work or at the dinner table or anywhere else.. When you use the BREEZE Zafu as a chair cushion you will have an active core and spinal and hip flexion all day long. This helps to alleviate back pain caused by a weak core and holding one position for too long during the day. Flexible support is the way to go for lower back health and the BREEZE Zafu is a great tool to achieve it.

The bheka BREEZE Tadpole is small but mighty! Among its many powers is the ability to be a comfortable seat in cross-legged and knee forward positions, so it is a super meditation or pranayama cushion.

It is also great for knee support in cross-legged poses, under the neck or head in supine poses (or when traveling by air or on the train or bus). Because it is inflatable, it is also adjustable so you can get just the right amount of support or height for each situation.

As if that were not enough reason to love this little bolster, consider this; the bheka BREEZE Tadpole weighs a little over 5 ounces, less than your smartphone and takes up a little more room than most wallets, so it can go in your purse, handbag, backpack or pocket with relative ease. For traveling teachers carrying a dozen of these to your next class is, dare I say it? A BREEZE!
