How can I make a meditation cushion using towels or a yoga mat?

hi Ritika, There is no strict rule for meditation cushions. You don’t need to buy anything special. If you have a yoga mat, roll it tightly and place it under your hips or even under your knees for comfort. A normal pillow or cushion might also work. You can even try meditating without any cushion. In the beginning you may feel a little discomfort, but after a few days of practice your body will adjust and you won’t need much support.
