to Natural Sitting
Sacred Space: Sitting at floor level brings us down to earth like the cultures which bring us these customs. With natural sitting we can connect with breath and access deeper realms. Keeping a corner or room set up in this way provides a constant reminder of our committment to staying in touch with the sacred.
Stretching: These props not only aid in yoga practice, but can be used as simple furniture. When a room or house is designed with floor furniture, a yoga stretch or restorative pose can be practiced randomly throughout the day whenever the need arises to keep you in a calm, creative space, alleviating repetitive stress, back pain from chairs, and being stuck in one static position.
Simplify: This ancient approach to furniture is finding a place in modern homes, offices and studios. It is not only fun, ergonomic and interactive--it allows living in a small space with less clutter and more comfort.
Stress Reduction: Natural sitting aligns the spine and deepens breathing which induces the Relaxation Response. Stretching and meditation practice help us find inner peace and deal with life's challenges.
Slowing Down:
When we allow room and time for inner travel we say yes to life, putting aside a frantic pace for a life well lived.
You may wonder where the farm animals and surrealistic landscape come from which decorate our website and our product packaging.
This painting is a depiction of an actual place--the Cade's Mountain Farm--which is a short distance from Carolina Morning Designs headquarters, and is a part of the South Toe community. The Black Mountain Range is seen in the distance. This is located 50 miles North of Asheville, North Carolina, and the nearest town is Burnsville.
As idealic as the painting looks, it really is like that here. We live in a wonderful place and wanted to share some of the peace and serenity with you, our customers. This feeling is the spirit of Carolina Morning Designs. This peace and tranquility is the place that our products take you. This quality of mind and heart is the inspiration for meditation and for finding our own inner balance. We feel that harmony with nature, growing food without chemicals, and connecting with the land are a part of the solution to finding inner peace. Our seats and pillows are made from agricultural products and we find it helpful to reflect on the gifts Mother Earth gives us.
Atlanta painter Sarah Hatch is the artist. Copies of the painting can be purchased through Carolina Morning Designs. Please email for details.
The Cade's Mountain Farm is an organic goat, lavender, and blueberry farm. It has a shop with soaps, body lotions, herbal products, goat cheese and other farm crafts. It hosts a lavendar festival once a year, soap making workshops, a lavender labrynth, and you can even rent a cabin and stay on the farm.
