Dr. Nahshon Rand
Specialist in Orthopedics and Spine Surgery at Assuta Hospital (Tel-Aviv)
"The stool encourages natural and healthy posture, strengthens the stabilizer muscles and improves the flexibility of the spine, pelvis and leg joints. In doing so, it promotes protection of the structures of the spine, particularly the discs and joints from injuries of continuous stress on them during extended static sitting.
After sitting on the stool for a few minutes, you realize that this is a piece of furniture that requires continuous use of the stabilizing muscles of the spine, while preserving its healthy physiological posture. The effort it first takes to get used to it is well worth it, and it is recommended for people who suffer from chronic lower back pain, and anyone who sits for hours in a chair.”

"I use the FreeChair every day for my meditation practice.  The FreeChair is an amazing invention and it can be used by all shapes and sizes--it's tiny, but durable and comfortable. It's a great conversation piece when people come to visit, everyone wants to sit on it. I eat dinner on my FreeChair as well and my hips (which have always been stubborn and tight) are finally opening up more. 
I highly recommend all yogis, meditators and anyone with low back issues or tight hips to invest in a FreeChair."

"I have used this chair to practice active sitting. The ability of the chair to assist with anterior and posterior pelvic tilt is evident.
Everyday I get patients asking me what chair they should buy. I often tell them that the most important thing in sitting is actually the interruption of the sustained and prolonged sitting postures.
This interruption can be achieved via movement in the pelvis and thus translated into movement of the spine.
This chair allows you to learn good sitting postures and practice proper sitting mechanics.
For professionals using different postures while sitting on the floor (kindergarden teachers, reflexologists, etc.), this chair allows for more comfortable active sitting that prevents sustained flexion of the lumbar spine."

Yael Wolinitz
Pilates teacher and meditation instructor:
"As a meditation teacher and Pilates instructor, I warmly recommend using the stylish, nice chairs that allow people to shift their weight at a comfortable angle and enable sitting that is adapted to the personal joint structure of each and every one of us."

Madi Meshorer
Certified yoga teacher, specializes in Vidya yoga and yoga therapy:
"A good sitting position in yoga and meditation is reflected in stability and comfort. The sitting base must be wide and rooted. The spinal column grows vertically and upwards from it.
Based on my experience and that of my students, FreeChair allows everyone to find the angle that's right for them and prevents typical pressures on the weak points of the hips, pelvis and vertebrae.
The students experienced stable meditative positions over time, pain free, and without feeling pins and needles in their legs.
I would also like to note the styling, finishing and natural materials of the FreeChair, which make it, undoubtedly very friendly for students."

"A unique stool designed for strengthening sitting, without allowing the body to collapse backwards...
Instead of sitting limply in front of the computer or television, FreeChair gives pregnant women good support for their backs through gentle motion that is possible while sitting on the stool. The hip joints can move gently and the back position is suited to the woman's needs.
Sitting on this stool, instead of on a regular chair, reduces backaches, enables good motion of the diaphragm, which is not compressed and eases the load on the hips."

Theresa Gregory
Yoga Instructor and Co-Studio Owner of YogAloft Yoga and Wellness Retreat  (Ontario, Canada)
"As a yoga instructor I try to make people aware of their bodies, their anatomy. I encourage them to experience their bodies in motion and in stillness. When they sit down on the FreeChair for the first time and I say to them that it "imitates the natural tilt of the pelvis", or "it mimics the body's natural rocking motion" they understand it immediately because they can feel it for themselves. The FreeChair removes the rigid, static, downward gravity compression that we experience from regular chairs. How is that possible? The FreeChair rocks forward and back allowing the pelvic cradle to rock.  It allows the hips and pelvis to remain free. Brilliant! Wish I had invented it myself! Good work!"
 
Anat Marzuf
Breathing and art psychotherapist, Ashtanga yoga instructor and certified as a yoga instructor for pregnant women:
"I warmly recommend FreeChair. I believe it is very useful to yoga and meditation students and especially for people with closed hip joints and pregnant women.
What's more, it looks great, is mobile and light and is suitable for everyone."

Shirley Bentwich
Yoga instructor for pregnant women and childbirth, teaches prenatal preparation courses that include yoga:
"As a yoga instructor for pregnant women and childbirth, I am always on the lookout for things that respond to the changes that occur in a woman's body during pregnancy.
I prefer things that are multifunctional – FreeChair is one of them!
It is usual hard for pregnant women to sit erect for long periods, mainly because there is a lot of pressure on their lower back and their feet fall asleep due to poor circulation.
FreeChair is a simple and elegant solution for comfortable sitting, allowing people to move gently forwards and backwards. It provides maximum comfort for the legs and the lower back. FreeChair also enables squatting, which is particularly comfortable during pregnancy.
Warmly recommended... "

Dalia Keidar
Nursery school teacher:
"When I sit on the floor with the toddlers, I can sit very comfortably without straining my back. I change position and my back can remain straight all the time, because it's the position of the stool that changes.
The children also like sitting on the stool. When they sit on it, they need to maintain their balance, and this is very good for their physical stability.
I warmly recommend that anyone who needs to sit on the floor a lot take advantage of the stool."

Anat Zahor
Senior yoga and meditation teacher, founder of Yoga Studio – Yoga Dharma School:
I use the meditation chair designed and constructed by Shemuel Yeshurun in my yoga postures, and I recommend it to my students. In addition to its clean and simple design, I found it very functional for comfortable, upright and stable sitting. The chair is designed with simple intelligence!! Recommended!!"

Tamar Adi
Director, Chandra Yoga Center, Tel Aviv:
"We sell FreeChair at my yoga center and get many compliments and have happy customers. The chair has a very nice appearance and motivates people to sit and do meditation exercises or just sit on it when they need to sit on the floor. I warmly recommend it!"
