Benefits of Sitting on the Floor and How to Do It Properly
Manage episode 250447966 series 82237
If you’re someone who is striving to be proactive with their health, tune into this episode of the Align Podcast to learn more about floor sitting – one of the simplest things you can do to increase your vitality and longevity.
Our hips, ankles, knees, spines, and the fluids throughout our body have been built upon movement, necessitated by getting up and down off the ground. Although in western societies, floor sitting is not a staple in our lifestyle.
So here is where the problem lies…our body is like a home. If we make good use of the space, squatters will take over. Inside the body, the squatters will look like adhesions, calcifications, and inflammation. But, when we move our body through its full range of motion regularly, in ways it’s intended to be moved, we prevent the “squatters” from taking over. And when our knees, ankles, and hips can smoothly move through their full range of motion, it’s a clear indication of the vitality of the rest of our body.
In this episode I discuss:
- How floor sitting will improve your life
- Studies backing up the benefits of floor sitting
- The affect floor sitting has had on different cultures
- How to include more floor sitting in your daily life
- How to sit on the floor properly
- How much time should be spent on the floor daily to reap the benefits
