How the AwareChair promotes the movement of your hips
The AwareChair® was designed with aspects in mind that support the natural straightening of the back and the opening of the upper body, and promote regular movement, i.e. dynamics that keep the back "awake" and active.
What exactly does the AwareChair do?
Most people notice when trying out the AwareChair that the special shape and inclination of the seat encourages and reminds them to straighten their sitting posture. This is because the pelvis is encouraged to "roll" slightly forward and this results in the opening or easing of the opening of the entire upper body.
What do experts say about upright posture and the role of hip movement?
In his TED Talk®, renowned American chiropractor and author Scott Donkin gives a very clear description of posture while standing and sitting, and how the position of the pelvis affects the posture of the back and upper body.

You may move ;-)
The design of the AwareChair with the dynamic shaped wood also allows you to dip into a swinging movement of the pelvis and the entire body every now and then while sitting. That is what we do naturally as children, i.e. in a healthy urge to move and "jerk around", which used to be rather unwelcome at school and where to this day the furniture tends to tempt us to "hang out at an angle" rather than to be actively present, is subtly and pleasantly desired and possible on the AwareChair.
How to assemble your AwareChair
We suggest you turn on the assembly instruction video in German. You can see the orientation of the components as we assemble your AwareChair "together"...
Wherever you sit...
The AwareChair is for everybody who is striving to live a conscious and active life. That includes valuing your body and posture. You want to feel good, have a healthy spine, work and communicate with joy. In a group setting you want to be present and attentive. The AwareChair naturally supports you with all these aspects while working at your desk, eating at your table, taking part in a seminar, playing in an orchestra or sitting upright in meditation in a group or by yourself.
How it activates you...
The AwareChair is a chair without a back rest. At first sight you might think it is just a platform for sitting crossed legs or just another stool. But, the AwareChair is and does much more than that.
- Its slightly sloping seat provides a defined perpendicular support for your buttocks.
- Therefore the hips are activated to tilt forward which supports you moving up and opening your abdomen.
- The dynamic wooden frame lets you play and rock with your posture and strengthen your back.
- Sitting on the AwareChair in traditional, crossed legs or half crossed legs position will support you in creating or maintaining more flexibility.
