Is this chair good for sitting cross-legged doing yoga while supporting your back?

Yes, I think it would work great for yoga. We have used it sitting on the ground and it is perfect!

Yes it is. It can help support your back if you have trouble maintaining the posture without support. But I would like to add that when i sit on this chair, I can feel the metal frame to some degree through the cushioning and this takes away from the comfort it provides. It is not painful or anything... but rather a hindrance for sitting on it for a long periods of time.

I would have to say absolutely. The chair is quite large and could easily accommodate someone sitting cross legged. The backrest of the chair also has three angle positions so you can sit more upright if you want or recline further back if you prefer!

yes, I would think so. it will sit fairly flat to the floor or ground and the back adjusts to you

No. This is a light folding chair. Leaning on it to stand up is a bad idea.

I don't use mine for yoga, but I suspect you could. It all depends on the class, I guess. I use mine to loosen up tight muscles in my back and it works very well for that.

Yes! It's comfortable and works for all of the above. I call it my thinking chair!!

Just slightly but not looking into the air or anything. The design of this chair is great and i would recommend (getting it in the bag is a pain though). The fabric is breathable and there is no crazy tension across the bottom of your legs. The way the chair sits is to support good posture and it works well (i have scoliosis with 4 rods and 10 screws in my back) so posture is important. I'll add when my back hurts this is the chair i sit in. You won't regret it i promise.

The chair holds up well; the canvas seat is taught and sturdy, and is very durable overall. However, because the front legs are curved at the bottom, it has a tendency to tip forward when you go to sit down, which can be dangerous for unsuspecting clients. If the chair is more for your own personal use, then I think it will work nicely.

Not that I know of. I usually sit cross legged in this chair and it's wonderfully comfortable.

No...not unless you have an extremely flexible back! This chair will not lay completely flat.

I also have a bad back, which is why I bought this chair. I'm not sure how severe your situation is, but I found that the chair is durable enough for the price and has different degrees of incline which you can manually adjust the back to. All in all I think this chair is a good option for back pain.

No it is not supportive, that is the whole point of the chair. The chair is to aid in strengthening your core muscles and sitting up staight, so that you are not slouching in a chair and looking for back support. I agree completely with C. Berg, that is will take a week or two to get used to and build those muscles. But once you do, you will very rarely ever touch the back.

That depends on individual using it. The chair is supportive and comfortable but not very wide. If you toss and turn a lot while sleeping, it's probably too narrow to accommodate you.

I believe it is as I went on the site for exact info -the company that makes them..it has been a while since I got it & that was a feature I believe I liked. it is so comfortable with the back too..I use it for make up etc. it is a very strong chair & very durable, sure footed & not like the seat one I bought before that the legs got weak etc. Worth every cent...good luck & hope you find it as good.

Absolutely. I ended up using it for less than 2 months and had to sideline it. I do not find the chair comfortable anymore.

This is really supposed to be a stretchIng chair so yes, you use it as a crop to hold on to. I have also leaned against the back rest. But I feel the purpose of this chair helps you sit up straight (so you don't want to slouch or lean back). Also it helps take the pressure of my hips and back. I have degenerative disc disease and this chair really seems to help me get through the day at my desk job.

No, I use it only for laying on my back, I have another flat beach chair for my stomach laying.

Maybe? I think it would depend on how long your legs are and how far back or forward you're sitting in the chair. I've sat cross legged in the chair and haven't had any problems

totally not...it is actually very comfortable as you can bend back...like a ricking chair kind of way...
