About Prapatti

Prapatti meditation cushions were specifically designed to increase stability and comfort for the meditator as well as enhance proper alignment in asana practices. Using the Anusara Yoga's® Universal Principles of Alignment™, (developed by John Friend) long-time meditators and yogis, Eric Lavigne & Maria DeSimone, realized the need for a better meditation/yoga prop. Thus, Prapatti was created in 2006.

Prapatti means surrender in Sanskrit. Prapatti cushions are...

  • Hand-made in the U.S.
  • The first personalized yoga prop to assist in seated forward bending asanas.
  • Only cushion available that stays flat and doesn't force the practitioner into a forward lean, allowing for superior alignment
  • Two types of foam densities used - the bottom is solid to create a stable base while the upper layer is softer for comfort
  • Patented kidney-shape allows the practitioner to place heels closer to pelvis than other similar products.
  • The foam has an approx. life span of 25 years, which makes this prop a great investment.
  • High end washable faux suede fabric cover is easy to clean
  • Light-weight and more compact than buck-wheat cushions - take them everywhere!
  • We all know our needs are unique to our own bodies so 2" to 5" height cushions are available. Custom sizes including .5" sizes, different foam densities and cushion widths can also be specially made to order.
  • Endorsed by Yogis John Friend, Desirée Rumbaugh, Judith Lasater, Jamie-Allison Turner and many more! Carried by Om Time and Samadhi yoga studios in Colorado, Yoga Tree in California and the Kripalu Yoga Community Center in Lenox Mass. To be featured at Yoga Journal Conferences across the country.
