Squatting is a natural resting position. During my 15 years living and teaching in Taiwan, people often commented on how natural this was for me, saying it’s not something they see many foreigners do. For me, it’s always felt more comfortable than sitting in a chair.

If squatting doesn’t come naturally to you, try adding just a few minutes of it into your day—it’s incredible for your body and feels natural once you get the hang of it. 🙏🏻💜

I can’t even get down that far

Take your time, little by little—it truly is a natural resting position. 🙏🏻💜

Uno 8mo ago

It’s exercise not rest 🤣

Ava 8mo ago

Lol. Conditioning is a thing.

TNStacker 8mo ago

Small children will do it until we condition them not to.

Fabio 8mo ago

Yes absolutely! I love resting in this position and it helps a lot decompressing the lower back!

I was just in Taiwan for a full month until two weeks ago, I enjoyed very much the High Mountain Oolong tea! 🍵

Ava 8mo ago

That is wonderful. Where did you visit? High mountain Oolong tea is incredible—though Pu-erh is my absolute favorite. 🙏🏻💜

Fabio 8mo ago

I was in Taipei, Jiufen, Taoyuan and Taichung.

Yes Pu-erh is great too! I love cha dao!

Duvel 8mo ago

Really, really interesting! I'm going to start trying it now :-)

That is if your tendons are such that you can put your heels on the ground when squatting 😅

🙏🏻💜

I tend to feel dizzy/light-headed after getting up from a squat. Not sure why, but it’s the only reason i don’t squat more. Otherwise, the position feels great.

Ava 8mo ago

Take your time. 🙏🏻💜

nostr:npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka I use to have a squat toilet which I loved. All the chakras align to create a single straight holy path. Hardly any toilet paper was needed. Squat toilet RIP, landlord replaced it before I bought the house and my family likes the new heated toilet seat. 😢

MoneRogue 8mo ago

Have you tried squatting over the toilet seat?

Ava 8mo ago

Traditional squat toilets are still commonly used in public across Southeast Asia, and many older-generation people perch on the bowl when using modern Western toilets. It is a more natural position for bowel movements.

MoneRogue 8mo ago

It's so wild to me knowing how so many people have been pooping incorrectly their whole lives without even knowing it.

Ava 8mo ago

Indeed. It's a thing.

Having lived in Asia a long time, I can confirm squatting is the absolute best, nature's way.
