Please forgive what may be a very common question, though I have searched the list archives and could not find any info, nor is there too much on the web.
Committing myself to this wonderful instrument for "life's duration", I really want to explore all aspects of it, one of which is the Seiza position. Apparently, it is common for Westerners, and others, to understandably experience their legs falling asleep after short periods of time. I concur!
Does the proper positioning of a pillow, or any other technique, seem to allow progress and a conditioning for this position? Or, do a lot of players eventually migrate to a chair for most practice sessions? Alternatives?
As not to flood everyone's email with repeated thanks to any replies, I will extend a very gracious thanks to all, in advance... "Thank You!".
:)
