Yoqui* allows for symmetrical/bilateral movement which assists working & long-term memory, as well as promotes core stabilization and multi-hemisphere brain activity.
Designed in collaboration by educational specialists, engineers, kids, and therapists – Yoqui* is a physically and cognitively appropriate addition to any learning space.
The Yoqui is a dynamic, wedge-shaped active seating tool that integrates movement directly into a sitting experience. Its angled, asymmetrical form encourages subtle postural adjustments and core engagement, supporting the proprioceptive and vestibular input that underlies attention and self-regulation. The smooth upholstered surfaces in calming tones reduce visual noise, while the ergonomic shape accommodates varied sitting positions — sideways, straddled, backwards etc. — allowing individuals to self-select the posture that best supports their cognitive readiness. Yoqui reflects the understanding that movement is not a distraction from learning; but more so a learning pathway.

It is true that all behaviors are a sign of communication… When you are able to work with the tools you need to help express feelings and emotions it can be so rewarding for everyone involved.
We have a student that can be dysregulated… The student's ‘go-to’ is the Giddy! The student literally seeks it out for comfort and calming. You can actually see the transformation in their face from a heightened strong feeling to a smile when having that consistent rocking motion that brings that strong feeling down into a soothing and calming state and starts to focus on the task at hand. This chair is such an AMAZING tool..."
