Our new zafus are made from exceptionally soft 100% silk sari fabric (a hard to come by fabric and becoming more rare in India). All silk zafus are filled with buckwheat hulls and have a zippered opening behind the handle which allows you to add or remove stuffing material for adjusting to your individual height/density.

Zafus have been used for everyday sitting in Asia for centuries. Today the zafu is rediscovered by Westerners for meditation, yoga, and a simple home furnishing. The zafu often thought of as only a yoga cushion or meditation cushion, has many other uses. It is perfect for sitting meditation and pranayama practice. Sitting in elevated "easy pose" (cross-legged) creates a pelvic tilt, bringing length and alignment to the spine. The hips and legs are able to relax, which allows lift and openness to the chest and lungs. It is also great for stretching the back, and converts almost any chair into a tilt seat for autonomous sitting.
