Round zafu meditation cushion in oatmeal chenille, gathered into soft pleats along the side wall with a bold yin yang embroidered across the top. The symbol is read as balance — opposites held together, stillness and motion in one seat. Set it in a meditation corner, at the foot of the bed, or in a reading nook, and settle in for longer sits.

Meaning & Intention

The yin yang is one of the oldest symbols of balance, traced to Chinese Taoist philosophy. Its dark and light halves curve around each other in motion — opposites moving as partners rather than enemies.

Embroidered on the zafu, the symbol takes a practical role. Each time you lower onto the cushion, the design sits in view as a marker of what the practice is for: holding both sides of experience with steadiness.

The small dot of opposite color nested inside each half suggests no state is ever pure. Even in the calmest sitting there is a flicker of restlessness, and inside restlessness a seed of stillness.

Physical support and symbol work toward one end — a return to balance, one sit at a time.

Questions & Guidance

Does the height change once I sit on it?

The buckwheat fill settles slightly under your weight, so the 5-inch loft compresses a little in use. The hulls conform to your shape for firm, adjustable support.

Can I use it for anything besides meditation?

Yes. It also works as floor seating during yoga, as a support in a reading nook, or as a grounding piece near a home altar.

How do I use it to set an intention?

Before sitting, rest a hand on the embroidered symbol and name where you want more balance. Repeat the suggested mantra as you settle onto the seat and begin your practice.
