- The special design of our Ergonomic Chair makes the perfect ergonomic office chair and the flexible air filled material of the exercise ball enable individuals to support themselves in the best sitting position to relieve and prevent back pain. By using the abdominal muscles to tilt the pelvis, the lumbar spine is flexed and extended until the balanced position of optimal function and stability is reached. The muscles are then contracted in order to hold the position. This helps the individual to develop the kinesthetic awareness of their neutral position. Eventually this will become a natural position to attain. The individual is actively in control.

Questions and Answers


How does the ERGO CHAIR help you sit correctly?


- The ERGO CHAIR helps your back by teaching the body to sit in a good posture and giving it the endurance to stay there. If you are sitting with poor posture on the ERGO CHAIR your body will give you negative feedback. You will find it very uncomfortable to sit incorrectly. However, when you have found the proper and most comfortable way to sit for your own body, the ERGO CHAIR will prove to be an invaluable health aid. This ERGONOMIC CHAIR is a teaching tool for the body to learn to treat the back with respect. The ERGO CHAIR helps your spinal health by teaching the body to sit in a good posture and giving it the endurance to stay there. The spine is the message center of the rest of the body and needs to be kept in good alignment in order to work efficiently.


What is the purpose of sitting on the ERGO CHAIR?


- The ball was designed to help those who want to maintain their health and feeling of wellness, prevent back problems and restore the body to optimum function even while sitting and working at a desk. To achieve a sense of wellness while working is indeed quite an achievement. This is exactly what our ergonomic office chair is designed to accomplish.


- The Surgeon General has reported that inactivity in the office environment poses a significant health threat. Sitting passively on a chair for many hours does not enable the body to move around. Have you ever felt like moving around even while you were sitting? With our ergonomic chair this is possible. Not only is moving around while you sit possible, it is encouraged.

Why is the ERGO CHAIR better than a standard office chair?



- Standard office chairs, although initially comfortable, do little to improve posture. They are designed to hold the body upright but do not allow you to move or hold yourself up therefore encouraging the postural muscles to atrophy. The ERGO CHAIR represents a dynamic sitting surface because you are moving slightly on the exercise ball as you go around your various tasks. On the ERGO CHAIR you can bounce up and down, move sideways and easily move the chair around to various locations. This activity, or dynamism in sitting builds up the endurance of the postural muscles and leads to better posture.


Would the ERGO CHAIR improve my circulation?


- Yes. Because you are constantly moving while on the ball rather than always pressing your legs into a hard chair with stationary sitting, circulation is greatly improved in the legs and other parts of the body.


What are the advantages of using the ERGO CHAIR as opposed to using a regular office chair?


- The ERGO CHAIR is superior to the traditional chair because it allows movement while remaining seated. While sitting, there is a tendency to slouch, especially when your mind is busy with other tasks. As you continue to sit you slouch further, and usually end up in a poorer posture supported by the backrest. While many people at this point become conscious of their poor posture, due to back pain, the sad fact is that most people lack the strength in the lower back to correct it and sit in good posture for long periods of time.


- The success of the ERGO CHAIR is in conquering this problem. It exercises and strengthens the lower back in ways that no other workout can. While a workout in a gym might strengthen the major muscle groups of the area, sitting on the ERGO CHAIR egg shaped ball builds up the multifidus, rotatories and transverse abdominus muscles that lay deep within the trunk of the back. These small spinal stabilizers are essential for the conditioning of the body’s CORE. This strengthening is accomplished by encouraging the body to sit in good posture while on the ball, gradually building up strength of the back muscles until it is possible to be in perfect posture all of the time.

How do I know that the ERGO CHAIR will fit my desk?



- The ERGO CHAIR will fit under just about any desk. Simply adjust the ERGO CHAIR so that it is comfortable for your height. You may do this by inflating the ball or deflating it according to your own individual comfort level. Make sure however, that your knees are NEVER higher than your hips.


How long do I have to wait before I can feel the results?


- About 1-2 weeks.


- The ERGO CHAIR does not work instantly after the first five minutes. It is advisable to begin to sit on the chair at least one hour a day and then gradually building up to longer durations. Don’t forget that this is a chair that promotes dynamic sitting and this means that you exercise your muscles while you sit. This may take time. People who are more physically fit will experience beneficial results sooner.


- Once you become comfortable sitting on your Ergo Chair for long stretches of time your body will literally desire this type of sitting. Each time you return to sitting on the Ergo Chair, you will feel a deep sense of comfort and well being. The appropriateness of this type of sitting speaks directly to your brain and nervous system. It just feels RIGHT!

Serenity Meditation Rugs




The Rugs Journey:
All of the rugs use 100% highland sheep wool from Tibet. The Highland sheep live at elevations over 16,000 feet exposed to extreme natural conditions. The raw wool that is gathered and transported over the Himalayas into Nepal is some of the most resilient wool to be found in the world. Do to the high lanoline content this wool maintains its luster over time as well as allowing for durability and resistance to dirt. Once the wool is transported it is washed, hand carded, hand spun and hand dyed. The rugs are then hand-knotted using the distinctive Tibetan knot, where the wool is wrapped around a metal rod and clipped when a row is completed to create the pile. Each rug is unique reflecting the high vibration which all beautiful handmade objects carry. Each 3'x4' rug can take up to 200 hours to complete. When completed on the loom the rug is finished off with subtle clipping around the designs. The excess warp yarns (fringes) are fastened under the carpet and trimmed on the back with a cotton strip dyed to match the rug to protect the selvages from wear.
