In 2019, I made a commitment to deepen my meditation practice. That journey took me to a 10-day Vipassana retreat — 10 days of silence, meditating for up to 10 hours a day. It was one of the most challenging and transformative experiences of my life.

But here’s something they don’t often tell you: meditation isn’t just about mental focus — it’s also about physical endurance. Sitting still for long periods can be surprisingly difficult.

That’s when I discovered the Padma Meditation Seat.

Handcrafted in Bali from ethically sourced materials, the Padma Seat is designed to support your posture and take the strain off your body, allowing your mind to go deeper into stillness. It became a game-changer for me — making long sits not only possible but enjoyable.

And now, I’m thrilled to share that Padma Seat has arrived in the UK.

At the start of this year, I set myself a simple intention: to explore a new spiritual discipline each month.
It has been a powerful and eye-opening journey so far:

Each experience has added a new layer of understanding — about myself, about stillness, and about the tools we can use to reach deeper states of awareness.

The Padma Seat has been my companion throughout this journey, helping me stay grounded and present as I’ve explored these practices.

As the official UK partner, my mission is simple:
To make meditation more accessible, more comfortable, and more deeply rewarding for anyone exploring their practice.

But this is about more than just a seat.
 Over the coming months, I’ll be sharing my personal experiences with meditation and spiritual practice, and I also plan to host meditation classes and workshops, offering spaces where people can experience the Padma Seat for themselves while exploring different styles of meditation in a supportive environment.

Whether you’re just beginning your practice, a seasoned meditator, or a retreat centre looking for practical solutions for your guests — Padma Seat UK is here to support you.
