      Be glad you got going as soon as you heard about it. Your doing great by virtue of that. I ultimately procrastinated it for a decade, b/c I do have tight hips, and thought any cross-leggedness wouldn't work.vand chairs just aren't working for me with neutral spine. Just had some poor attempts at starting here and there. Never really knew about this one, which I kind of discovered after some trial and error this year.

    The way I've been doing it is to just kneel down on the right leg and get it in position, then sit down and tuck the other leg in. It helps with a miniscus issue I have. Still tweaking the posture but it's getting better.

      Thanks, man. :-) Bolster is good stuff. You may notice a subtle difference with the cushion in this video due to the shape. You can get your feet a little more underneath yourself vs. a bolster.
