Celina Digby - Connect nature with design - bring colour to your life.
The Celina Digby Meditation and Yoga range was born out of a desire to create practical products with unique modern designs and a luxurious soft-touch finish.
A range of yoga and meditation cushions has been created to suit many different abilities, techniques and body styles. Mindfulness quotes and yoga positions were researched as a starting point to create the unique designs that have now come to life on these beautiful products.
Zafu Traditional Cushion
A zafu (Japanese) or putuan (Chinese) is a round cushion. Although also a utilitarian accessory, it is best known for its use in zazen Zen meditation.
Zafu is the classic, and most traditional shape of meditation cushion, made with pleats around the sides. Although it is often translated as "sewn seat" in English, the meaning of the Japanese kanji, 座蒲, is different. Za (座) means "seat", and fu (蒲) means reedmace (cattail, Typha spp.). A zafu is a seat stuffed with the fluffy, soft, downy fibres of the disintegrating reedmace seed heads. The Japanese zafu originates in China, where these meditation seats were originally filled with reedmace down. The words zabuton, zafuton and futon are closely linked. The word zazen meaning "seated meditation" or "sitting meditation" is also closely linked. In western usage, zafu refers to a meditation cushion, and zabuton refers to the cushioned mat upon which a zafu is placed.
Our traditional meditation cushion has a luxurious soft-touch velvet cover, which is removable to allow easy machine washing. The inner is made from 100% cotton, and is filled with 100% organic buckwheat hulls.
It is very easy to add or remove buckwheat to get the perfect cushion firmness for your individual needs. It also has a useful handle to make it easier to transport around.
Each cushion is designed, printed and handmade in the UK. To allow you to refill your cushion, additional buckwheat hulls are available from our website.

Zafu Round / Wheel Cushion
A great all-round multi-purpose meditation cushion that allows you to adopt a relaxed, yet alert posture. You can either sit on the cushion with your legs crossed in front of you, or kneel astride the cushion. The height ensures comfort for the knees and ankles, and the inner has a zip so that you can add or remove buckwheat hulls yourself to ensure the perfect height for your body. It is ideal for lotus or half-lotus style sitting meditation postures.

Crescent-Moon Zafu Cushion
This crescent-moon shaped wedge cushion alleviates postural problems and enables an effortless seated position. The wedge shape tilts the pelvis and hips slightly forwards allowing the lumbar spine to remain in its natural curve. This keeps the spine upright and the shoulders relaxed. Drawing the heels in to the arc of the crescent moon shape encourages the shins and knees to drop towards the floor thus creating a stable and well aligned base for the perfect meditation position.
This cushion is ideal if you require wider, lower support for your hips and legs.
Our crescent-moon shaped cushion has a luxurious soft-touch velvet cover, which is removable to allow easy machine washing. The inner is made from 100% cotton, and is filled with 100% organic buckwheat hulls.

Bolster Cushion
A yoga bolster is a popular yoga accessory used to provide comfort, support poses and increase stretching during restorative postures and deep breathing exercises. Bolsters are long narrow cushions, usually cylindrical in shape and widely used in restorative yoga classes. A bolster can be placed under various parts of the body for firm yet comfortable support to encourage total release and relaxation. Restorative yoga can have a deeply soothing effect on the mind and nervous system - think of a bolster as restorative yoga's best friend!
A bolster is particularly useful in pregnancy yoga and can also be super helpful for anyone working with injuries or specific conditions - basically, a bolster offers support to any part of the body that requires more support.
Our bolster cushion has a luxurious soft-touch velvet cover, which is removable to allow easy machine washing. The inner is made from 100% cotton, and is filled with 100% organic buckwheat hulls.
