Crescent Cushion

The Blue Lotus Yoga crescent is our best selling cushion. It is designed to support the thighs while easing pressure on the knees and hips; as one sits the heart region opens easily and gracefully.

Constructed of medium weight cotton canvas and stitched with nylon thread for strength, this cushion is available in either kapok or buckwheat hull fills.

Kapok, a natural fiber filling, resembling milkweed, is harvested in warm climates like Mexico, Malaysia and Samoa. Kapok filled crescents stand about 5 inches high and provide a firm support without being uncomfortably hard.

Buckwheat hulls, an alternative natural material used to fill our crescents, are lightweight, very maleable and conform easily to a comfortable sitting position. The hulls themselves allow the cushion to breathe, and so can minimize absorption of odors. Crescents filled with buckwheat hulls stand at about 4 inches high.

2 styles are available. Solid color or solid with printed top and bottom. A 6 inch nylon strap located at the centerback makes the cushion portable and a 6 inch velcro centerback closure allows easy access to the interior for filling adjustment.

People rave about the comfort and beauty of our crescent cushions. They are popular additions to ashram auditoriums because they can be quickly set out for mediation sessions and dharma talks and are easily stacked and stored.
