What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A rocking chair comprising:
 a first side wall and a second side wall each comprising an upper rim and a lower rim meeting at a first point and a second point, wherein the lower rim forms an arc, wherein the lower rim of the first side wall is aligned with the lower rim of the second side wall; and   a seat portion disposed in between the first side wall and the second side wall, and a back portion disposed in between the first side wall and the second side wall.   
     
     
         2 . The rocking chair of  claim 1 , wherein the first side wall and the second side wall form a crescent shape. 
     
     
         3 . The rocking chair of  claim 1 , wherein the seat portion and the back portion are substantially perpendicular to the first side wall and the second side wall. 
     
     
         4 . The rocking chair of  claim 1 , wherein the seat portion is substantially perpendicular relative to the back portion. 
     
     
         5 . The rocking chair of  claim 1 , wherein the back portion is connected to the seat portion, wherein the back portion extends towards the first point and the seat portion extends towards the second point. 
     
     
         6 . The rocking chair of  claim 1 , wherein the circumference of the arc from the first point to the second point is greater than a semi-circle. 
     
     
         7 . A rocking chair comprising:
 a first side wall and a second side wall each comprising a lower rim comprising an arc having a greater circumference than a semi-circle;   a seat attached in between the first side wall and the second side wall; and   a back attached in between the first side wall and the second side wall.   
     
     
         8 . The rocking chair of  claim 7 , wherein the first side wall and the second side wall are substantially parallel to one another. 
     
     
         9 . The rocking chair of  claim 7  wherein the first side wall and the second side wall each comprise an upper rim meeting the lower rim at a first point and a second point. 
     
     
         10 . The rocking chair of  claim 9 , wherein the back portion is connected to the seat portion, wherein the back portion extends towards the first point and the seat portion extends towards the second point. 
     
     
         11 . A method of rocking in a chair comprising:
 providing a chair comprising: a first side wall and a second side wall each having a first point and a second point forming an arc shaped rim in between, wherein the arc shaped rim rests on a surface; a seat portion; and a back portion, wherein the seat portion and the back portion are disposed between the first side wall and the second side wall;   sitting on the seat portion, and thereby sitting in between the first side wall and the second side wall;   rocking the chair back towards the first point and forward towards the second point, from an upright position to an inverted position.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the first side wall and the second side wall are crescent shaped.
