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

Yes, it is comfortable for writing, prayers, and meditating. The chair was a gift for my husband and he has fallen asleep sitting in it

It is an O.K. chair. I sometimes sit in it to rest my back But I would not buy it for a bad back. I think it would be better to look for a more solid chair.

This chair was a gift for my daughter-in-law. I did sit in it and it is very comfortable. It's hard to comment on the support for someone else, especially with a bad back. It is more comfortable then others of the same style. The back did not seem stiff, but softer. Hope this helps!

I take hourly breaks and occasionally swap the chair with a standard desk chair, but otherwise I'm fairly comfortable over 8 hours per day. regular chairs stress my back, this kneeling chair is easier on my back but is harder on my legs. Prolonged typing is hard on your body no matter what; yoga helps. I agree with happymom that it takes a couple weeks to get used to the kneeling chair, but after that it's fine. I wouldn't recommend for heavier people because the cushions do depress to the wood easily.

Yes, your calves and feet are. It was an important aspect of this chair for me. Many chairs of similar design do not have your feet high enough. This one does.

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

I own a "ball chair" that does this. I bought one with a back which I don't like b/c I lean back too often defeating my good posture.

It's pretty thick, and it certainly does have some give to it as it's thick foam. But it's firm enough for my needs; I find it perfect for alot of the exercises I do on the floor. It's not really built though for doing standing Yoga poses for example. Better to get a thin yoga mat for that purpose.

I am pleased with the firmness of the back, it's adjustable too, and the support it gives me. I have only used it on gym bleacher seats so far and have been grateful by the end of the tournament that I had it. I would not be able to answer for you on how much support you would need but I would recommend this chair!!

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

Yes, it gives very good back support. I chose this style rather than a 'regular' one for that very reason and I am very pleased with it.

Technically yes. I wouldn't as the arms do provide support for the back. Great chair. It's holding up to my 320 lb son who can destroy anything. Best Regards

No! It is a terrible chair and will not hold up for anybody. You will be disappointed. As soon as I can get something else, this one goes in a dumpster. It is not worth my time to pack it up and send it back.

Yes. Where you put your feet may not be but I think it is. It is rough so your feet won't slip. I really like it. I have a bad back.. It moves and that is important. It isn't very heavy. I don't know what else one could be made from that would be as good.

It's not firm enough IMO. It stretches when you do some yoga poses on it so you have to be careful. It is soft and provides a good cushion.

Not exactly. You can easily lean back on the back rest cushion with your legs stretched out in the middle though. You can definitely use it for sunbathing, just not in fully horizontal position....unless you are really short. ;)
