What sitting pose or gear do you recommend to avoid numbness in the legs while meditating for long periods?

Fabulous CoachBehavioral Science AssistantRecommended AnswerAI Summary

To avoid numbness in your legs while meditating for long periods, consider using a comfortable sitting pose such as Sukhasana (Easy Pose) or Vajrasana (Thunderbolt Pose). You can also use a cushion or bolster to elevate your hips, which helps align your spine and reduces pressure on your legs. Remember to shift your position gently if you start feeling discomfort. Establishing a routine that includes mindful adjustments can enhance your meditation experience and promote lasting healthy habits.

I normally use a cushion to sit on so my legs are lower than my hips.

I have no good tips for this, but maybe try moving your legs every 5 minutes or so in the middle of your meditation session or try elevating your legs while lying down or sitting
