How To Execute Proper Seiza 正座 For Everyone - Vlog 266
Seiza is a traditional Japanese sitting posture that is commonly used during formal ceremonies and meditation practices. It involves kneeling on the floor with the legs folded underneath the body and the buttocks resting on the heels. The toes are usually pointing straight back, and the hands can be placed on the thighs or folded in the lap.
The word "seiza" is derived from the Japanese words "seiza noza," which means "correct sitting posture." It is considered a respectful and humble position, and it is often used in Japanese culture as a sign of respect and submission.
Seiza can be challenging for some people, especially for those who are not used to sitting on the floor for extended periods of time. However, with practice and proper preparation, most people can sit comfortably in seiza for short periods of time.
In addition to its use in formal settings, seiza is also commonly used in martial arts and traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. It is believed to help promote proper breathing and improve posture, and it is often used as a way to focus the mind and cultivate a sense of inner calm and stillness.
