Zazen on a chair?

Master Kosen – Published on March 26 – zazen

Question

Hello. I practice zazen for half an hour a day, and I have noticed that exhaling is difficult in this posture (perhaps because I am very inflexible and therefore a little tense). Strangely, I inhale and exhale much more freely in a position… where my spine is not completely straight… sitting on a chair. Is that normal? Thank you.
