This yoga chair is the replacement for the standard backless folding metal chair found in Iyengar yoga studios. Meant to elevate the stretching experience, the steambent parts allow for an organic curvalineature form that mimics the form of a down dog stretch.
The steambent back rest is designed to perfectly intersect the midback and thoracic spine. The missing lumbar support allows users to sit backwards, using the back arch as leverage for twisting spinal rotations.
