As a designer and practitioner of yoga, I am interested in exploring the topic of prosthetics for Siddhasana. I am curious if anyone has had any experience with utilising objects to support the perineum during meditation. I was thinking of creating a meditation seat featuring a raised area in the centre, specifically designed to support Mula Bandha. I would love to know what you think about this. Any response would be appreciated.
Sounds like a cool idea. I can imagine that it is very different for people how soft or strong the pressure is wanted (which might be a challenge for this design).
I really appreciate your responses . I have had many people around tell me about using racketballs and other sorts of balls. I think the round shape of it really helps for the purpose.
Thanks @lightandlove, It can get really experimental I think when it comes to the hardness of the prosthetic. I was thinking of fabricating the meditation seat in wood and making the prosthetic a separate component which can be then placed on the seat according to people's comfort. I am not sure as to what materials I can think of for the prosthetic which could be made in different hardnesses so that the product is fit for use to all kinds of yogis.
Thanks for your response. That's really interesting! Your trick not only helps provide varied hardness but also a beautiful hemispherical shape that would work perfect for the perineum
