Have you heard of the ergonomic sitting technique known as "active sitting"? Also known as dynamic sitting, this fidget-friendly type of sitting utilizes products like balance ball chairs, wobbling stools, yoga & exercise ball chairs, and balance discs. These devices replace unhealthy static sitting with a more natural option that encourages your body to move and flex even while remaining (relatively) stationary.
Medical studies have shown that long hours of sitting are becoming a major national health crisis. Fortunately, even if your job or hobby has you sitting for long hours at a stretch, your health does not have to suffer. Balance ball chairs from Gaiam provide all-day ergonomic support for improved posture, a stronger & healthier back, and improved spinal alignment while getting an excellent core-strengthening workout!
Of course, you will only receive these benefits of active sitting if you are already practicing good posture. If you slump on your balance ball chair, you are negating most of the good that would otherwise come from it! That's why you must be mindful of how you're sitting. Yoga exercises and pilates can help develop good posture as well as the mindfulness needed to practice it.
Gaiam offers a variety of active sitting options. Browse our selection of yoga/exercise balls with various stands and bases today!
