Literally, they stink…the buckwheat hulls they used to stuff it were old or bad or something. I bought 2, and the day they came my brother walked into the house and said “What smells like rotten ham?” I hope it was just a single bad batch but I returned them promptly and shopped locally, where I could smell them first.

Reasonable product, December 7, 2007

This review is from: YogaAccessories (TM) Crescent Zafu Meditation Cushion (with Buckwheat Hulls) (Misc.)

This zafu is very firm, and I like the zipper that allows for content adjustment. Customer service is very good — I received prompt and courteous reply when I needed to make an exchange.

This review is from: Hugger Mugger V-Shaped Cushion (Sports)

I looked and looked for a meditation pillow. Trying to find one the right firmness and the right height and at a great price was proving to be a great challenge. I sit in the Burmese sitting position (legs not crossed) because I find this to be the most comfortable. For a long time I sat with just a pillow or with nothing supporting me and hard a hard time keeping a straight back. This pillow supports my thighs and lifts my butt, giving me the pelvic tilt I need to keep my back straight. It’s made of quality material and I feel it will last quite a while.

I’m happy with my Hugger Mugger, November 20, 2006

This review is from: Hugger Mugger V-Shaped Cushion (Sports)

I purchased my Hugger Mugger yoga cushion about 3 months ago and have used it almost everyday since. Since this is my first cushion, I have nothing to compare it to, but I have been happy with the overall durability. My only complaint is that it is just a wee bit on the “too firm” side for me and occasionally causes some discomfort because it doesn’t conform to my bottom quite as much as I would like. But it does offer good support and hasn’t “broken down” through use. I do like the v-shape a lot and I think it would a good purchase for the money. Overall, I’m pleased.

This review is from: YogaAccessories (TM) Round Cotton Zafu Meditation Cushion (Misc.)

I’m very satisfied with the cushion. It’s not a name brand cushion, but it’s still very good and a great bang for the buck. It is very comfortable. One drawback is that the stuffing is not very uniformly distributed inside the cushion but it is hardly noticeable, and you can rearrange/remove/add stuffing if you are so inclined

This review is from: The Miracle of Hsin Tao (Kindle Edition)

Brilliant. Very helpful in every way. Very loving and caring teacher. It’s a shame people on this site choose to attack him with ridiculous fantasies. I’ve never met a kinder more loving yet disciplined teacher.

If you are new to yoga, look no more, January 13, 2006

By james “educated consumer” (austin, TX) –

This review is from: Kundalini Yoga for Beginners & Beyond NEW! Now with the **MATRIX** MENU OPTION!!! (DVD)

I always do extensive research before deciding on a purchase and when I decided to try a yoga DVD I stuck with my program. I asked around, I read all the reviews (though I don’t have much faith in most of the reviews out there), I surfed the web and looked at many many clips . My criteria for a perfect beginner Yoga DVD were: a)The instructor should be a real yoga master with many years of experience – no ex-actresses or aerobic instructors. b) no need for props, ie. ropes, balls, blocks, blankets etc… c) short sets ( as a beginner I may not be able to do more then 30 minutes at a stretch. I also do other fitness and want a short yoga routine as an add-on) d) preferrably no cliche new age sounds which make me cringe – birds chirping, bells, oceans. Something a litlle more urban and edgy would be nice. e) finally, I was looking for a real yoga workout. I wanted to experience yoga at its rawest i.e., no fluff, no excessive talking at the start. I just wanted to be able to get right to a workout that would stretch, strengthen, relax and inspire me And that is exactly what I got with Ravi Singh & Ana Brett’s Kundalini Yoga for Beginners & Beyond. It’s a really great program! I actually happened to find it at my library, tried it and paused it halfway while I ordered from Amazon. I knew this was the one:Two 25 minute sets from 2 long time yogis. Ravi Singh has been teaching 30 plus years. Ms Brett has been doing it since childhood. The way it’s sequenced really builds in a way that open your body very gradually and I think it is excellent for someone looking for a complete, gentle yet thorough, yoga practice. Not only is this a completely doable enjoyable workout for a newcomer to yoga like myself but I feel this is one I can still continue to do no matter how far I advance. In other words: this one is a classic. I look forward to trying other of the Ravi & Ana workouts.
