Who It's For
The Higher Ground Chair is designed for people who want more from their seating—those who care about posture, presence, and whole-body health. Whether you're sitting at your desk, in meditation, or during creative flow, this chair supports you in staying grounded, aligned, and engaged.
Yoga & Mindfulness Practitioners
The forward tilt naturally encourages an upright spine and open hips, making it ideal for seated meditation or breathwork. The grounded, floor-adjacent design fosters somatic awareness and a deeper mind-body connection.
Fitness Enthusiasts & Athletes
This is not a passive chair—it gently activates your core, hips, and legs, helping to maintain flexibility and strength even while seated. It promotes postural integrity and supports recovery by encouraging micro-movement throughout the day.
Midlife Women & Men Focused on Wellness
For those prioritizing longevity, bone health, and circulation, active sitting supports vitality. The Higher Ground Chair offers an easy, daily way to combat stiffness, reduce sedentary fatigue, and reconnect with the body’s natural alignment.
Neurodivergent Thinkers & ADHD Advocates
Movement improves focus. This chair offers subtle motion and sensory input without distraction, supporting better regulation of attention and energy. It's a grounding, empowering alternative to conventional seating—ideal for work, study, or creative exploration.
Which size should you get?
Both chairs are the height of a traditional desk chair, so they're likely to work for your desk setup.
The Standard Size Chair
It's generally best for people under 6' tall because the top (seat) offers less surface area for crossing legs and other active sitting postures. If you're much taller than 6', your knees may extend over the edges. It's also great for people with smaller desks who want to hide the chair underneath when not in use. The width and length (front to back) are 2.75" shorter than the Large Size Chair.
The Large Size Chair
Taller bodies have longer legs which take up more space when crossed or in other active sitting postures. The additional width and length offers a larger platform for longer legs. You'll also have extra room for furry friends or kids who want to share.
