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

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

I think so. I was able to do a very active yoga practice on it and it stayed in place.

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.

Absolutely. It is great for back, neck, knees etc. sometimes I but it on my lower back while I take a walk and it feels really good.

It depends, if it is not discounted I would say no (when we purchased it it was very discounted). The back support is really good, but the covering is very elecctrial and if you sit with woolen thing they will leave material attached to the chair. ALso soon the covering get ruined.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm a college student so I have days where I sit in front of my computer all day and I can say the chair is comfortable for long durations of work. It is very large! For that reason the back support is pretty far back. Overall it's a nice chair with great cushioning but if you don't have a big desk to fit the harm rests you won't have good back support.

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.

I bought this chair for my husband to use at work for better back support. I'm about 5'6 and I would say that it's good for head support but you would have to lay back on it because it bends backwards. You could definitely put a support pillow on it for your neck though. It's a great chair!

It's really not bad at all. I have lower back problems, so sitting for long periods of time is usually not my favorite thing, but I like this chair comfort-wise more than most.

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. ;)

I'm sorry but I have only used it to sit the back is strong enough to help you lift yourself up. I hope this helps
