I can totally relate to this. I learned to live on the floor in other parts of the world when I was younger. It's always a bit weird when Europeans come to my house - they always expect tables and chairs, but people from other cultures are usually completely ok with getting comfortable on the ground.
I want to say this video changed my life. I have recently embraced a minimalist lifestyle. I have watched this video so many times. You truly changed my life with this video... Thank you and bless you on. your continued success in all your life endeavors... You are AWESOME... Much love! RA
I've always preferred sitting on the floor, since a child. I just find it so much more comfortable and there's more scope for movement. I have a desk job, and I find it so difficult and rigid and stagnant having to sit in one position for 8 hours...
THIS VIDEO, appeared almost 2 months ago in my youtube recommendations, I was not looking for it, i watched entirely for curiosity and... It changed my life!! Im not using chairs anymore. the pain i had in my back from 5 years ago, it went away!! and even more, i discovered its so enjoyable, comfortable, i improved my flexibility, etc.. Im so grateful Kate, Thank you!.
I truly can't even express how much your comment means to me! I feel so humbled and blessed that this little video could help you so much in your own practice 🙏🌻💗 love, blessings, light to you
As a writer myself, I agree with you to q great amount. it’s always important as people who work In the creative field that we ensure our surroundings are not contradictory to our personality , that our mind isn’t constantly distracted by the things around us and is instead - inspired. And so, I’ve always appreciated your working space for how you’ve reflected your simplistic personality onto it, it’s so amazing to have one particular way to write and one particular space. I am gonna go try sitting on the floor now bieeee😃
Just seen this comment and that's soooo true about making sure your surroundings aren't contradictory to your personality. Think as artists it's easy to lose sight of creativity outside of the actual process of writing/performing/doing the actual art, and forget that having that same creativity in our surroundings and the rest of our lives is important to helping stimulate and maintain our creative process!! 📝
Thank you! Your perspective was so helpful! I watched ThoughtWorthy Co's video first and then watched yours, so it was nice to see them referenced here. I'm in the process of moving house, with my fancy desk and Herman Miller chair moved, but my computer still here. Only now that I've discovered how GOOD it is to sit on the floor! :D
I love sitting on the floor next to the couch to write or on the rocks and the sand next to the river. I only do that sometimes though. I’m going to try sitting on the floor much more often and see how I feel. I love how you implemented stretching and different practices while you were writing.. taking a break to stretch, and then getting back at it. I image this makes you much more present and slows the time down. This was a great video! 😁!
I’m absolutely going to try this! My hips and back feel so locked up from spending most of the day sitting to write.I used to make a lot more time for dancing and other activities. Considering I love floor work as a dance style, this would be a perfect way to fit in some five or 10 minute movement breaks right near where I’m writing. - I absolutely love your channel! Great content. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Great idea! I'm going to try it because I hate sitting in chairs, and although I love working in bed or on the lounge, it's bad for my back. A wedge cushion sounds like the secret to making it work. Thankyou!
This just uplifted my mood. (I am currently in the editing stage of my piece and so it does get a little boring. But this really helped. It was calming and relaxing in a way I wasn't expecting.) And when you said hope you have joy in your journey, that just made my day. Hope you keep making these amazing videos and we wish the same to you too.♡
Love this video! A different video concept but still relating to writing. I also think writing on floor is good for health too. I do crochet and painting on the floor because for me it's more comfortable then sitting on the bed or coach to do these creative work.
I have watched an older video before of you sitting on the floor and I wanted to try it out. I cannot divulge why I never did, but this video, in this new time in my life, has brought new vigor into the life I want to live and the values I want to teach my son. One of them, sitting on the floor. 😃 As a writer myself and now on a journey to make a full-time career of it, your videos have become an inspiration and beacon.
Your video is so well created I'm outright jealous 🔥 Sitting on the floor is part of our culture. Though the more time passes, the more we put space between ourselves and those bits and pieces. I'm definitely going to try writing in this way. I already switched to sleeping on the floor and my back pain has improved immensely.
I was wondering about this! I wanted to try it earlier this year when I first saw your writing space but wasn’t sure where to find one of those little tables. What an insightful video - I will definitely be changing by my writing space now 😌 Thanks from New Zealand!
Thank you, I am in transition phase of my life and I gonna be moving to a new place soon, where I can start from scratch. I have thrown a lot of stuff so I almost don't have any furniture. I was thinking about getting a classical height adjustable desk set up, which is quite expensive. This video inspired me to try out working on floor, before I spent money on a classical desk.
There are adjustable desks that can go all the way from the floor to a standing position if that interests you! They are rather pricey but pretty much the same as other standing desks. I haven't tried it myself but I've heard good things about the company "uppeal"
I grew up like this. Mostly because we were so poor we didn’t have furniture. I’ve always done my homework on my floor mattress against a wall or just laying down on carpet in various positions. I liked being able to lay down while working. I still prefer it this way.
Yes! Very much this! I've recently decided to return to natural movement heavy lifestyle and training. Movnat is my chosen path. The ancient ways are sometimes the best!
When I sit in a chair. I tend to sit cross legged on the chair anyways. And I’m constantly shifting around in my chair uncomfortably. Then I had an epiphany-why not sit on the floor! I’m so much more comfortable. I also feel less upper back strain. I also feel more productive oddly! Thanks for this video
Iv'e been sitting on the floor since about 2014. It only recently occurred to me that its probably more healthy to do so...and when I thought about it, I realized that my lower back hasn't given me the trouble that it used to before 2014. To be frank, I don't stretch or exercise much, though I am active throughout the day at work. I'm 40yo man, and my body is slender and looks and feels the same as it was when I was 20. Side note: I have that exact same cushion that you use in the video :)
Lol, I totally know what you mean. Whenever I start writing a new project, no matter where I start writing, I always end up lying on the ground to write.
They did a study and the B&W mode reduced 30% of screen time for people who use it. It works for me and if I actually need color I added it to my shortcuts like where airplane mode is to toggle on
I'm definitely going to give this a try! I've been sitting at a conventional desk for so long that I've gotten bored, and upon watching this video, I think it's because my set-up places constraints on my natural tendency and desire to squirm around and move. Watching this video has also got me thinking about trying to incorporate some minimalism into my life-though I don't think I have the willpower to try diving into such a lifestyle head-first, I figure I can at least try out some baby steps and see if that way of living suits me and makes me happier. (Especially considering that as it is, my bedroom, which is also my workspace, is filled with clutter, which doesn't exactly please me.) All in all, great video, Kate! This is the first I've watched from you since subscribing a couple days ago, and I can tell your channel is swiftly going to become one of my favorites.
I envy you. I use voice dictation, So my "process" has been me sitting, yelling into my phone. I tried writing in a more peaceful environment, but I seem to be more effective in a lazy boy and angry.
I‘ve just spent my first work day on the floor of my room sitting on a yoga mat with my low nightstand as a „desk“ and it‘s really given me the opportunity to get so much more movement in so I‘m less gittery. Also I can stretch all the time and don‘t get uncomfortable and restricted in a chair. And lastly I had a way better posture because my back was working with me much more than when I sat in a chair. I‘m certain that if I keep this up my back will be hella strong. So excited about this.
I like to sit on one or two folded Mexican yoga blankets. I can sit on it so that the front of my pelvic bowl is off the blanket, making the alignment of my spine, neck & shoulders so much more relaxed. I also like to sit in Seiza or with my legs stretched out in front of me. It hurts my knees to sit the way you're supposed to in a chair. When I'm sitting in a chair, I usually change the positions of my legs and hips, sitting "incorrectly" for the sake of relieving stiffness / pain. Having a quiet mind and allowing for physical flexibility and movement are so important! ❤️
Dont think i will do my work sitting on the floor, the pets would come disturb me too often xD i would always have someone on my lap lol but i am a big fan of minimalism and love hearing about how other people implement it! i hope to buy my own place soon and live as a minimalist. i grew up in quite a cluttered household, as many people do, and its not rly my thing!
Nice video! I've been floor sitting for a couple of months now and came on to find others doing it and how they set up their space. Currently using a coffee table and a diy 3" step stool with a rug and cushion. I'll look into that wedge since I feel like I need a kneeling stool with the tilted seat. Ironically, when I lived in an rv, I converted the dinette into a desk space and didn't start doing the floor desk until I moved into a house. I subscribed and will look into your other vids. :)
We loved ❤ this video so much that we featured some of it in our furniture-free style round-up video. We made the video to show our audience that there are furniture-free / minimalist advocates out there creating beautiful spaces. We sent an email to let you know, but we wanted to be sure to cover all the bases.
I have been sitting on the floor for a week now and oh boy, is it painful lol. My back is super stiff, my knees hurt as well. I'm hoping that I eventually get the hang of this. I will say, I move A LOT more now, so that's a plus! I was super sedentary before, but I'm moving every 5 minutes at the very least to a different position and stretching out, so I know my body has to be getting some sort of plus from this!
Nice video with great editing. Very watchable! To add to the info in this video, I can't recommend highly enough the book "Move Your DNA" by Katie Bowman. Not an advertisement, but an excellent resource to be inspired by and grow in your natural/physical knowledge.
I did sit on the floor for a long time until I broke my foot and my 5th metatarsal in my foot never healed or joined back together and i have been able to regain function and use it without surgery but, i can no longer sit on my foot. I cross my legs and even under my knee is too much on my foot. I had to change alot if things after from shoes, how i sit and for a long time i had to change how i dressed just for my foot. Im starting a research project and its time to set up a work space and consideration for whats getting me active and engaged but grounded into my work and comfortable for long enough. I get impatient and fidget and i cnt stay at a computer desk chair i cant sit for long enough and find myself walking away and wondering around if i dont have a good chair or sit on the floor. I have to pull my feet up or on a stool or into my chair. I spend most my time reading and taking notes so my feet and being anchored into my seat.. a heavy swivel club chair or on the floor. Feet and my anchor determines how long i stay in that study mode. I have to be as close as I can to outside too. I prefer outside or sunroom and i cant work or be in a room without a door outside for very long. I am always drawn to the rooms with doors and patios, so i tend to claim any room with outside doors as my personal space lolol.
I was experiencing pain sitting on the chair and put my feets up on a stools. My hip become hurtfull. Now i try to use a small stools to sit again and learn back how to squat down to sit everytime i want to sit and stand up. It makes my foot more healthy
I always sit in the floor it's normal for me. One decent alternative is sitting on a sofa or a chair with your legs elevated I find this position comfortable and don't get any back pain.
I hate sitting in chairs. I always pull my legs up and sit crossed legged on chairs and it's just not as comfortable as the floor. I'm so often sitting in the floor in front of my couch or whatever. I was preparing my writing space for nanowrimo and I'm defenitely moving that to the floor where I already did most of my prepping and outlining.
Hi, I was wondering if you still follow this lifestyle and if you have changed anything about it or would like to change? I am also interested in floor sitting as well as floor sleeping to better my health and life and its quite hard to get started and know what to start with and how it's gonna work out in the future. Thank you!
I suppose this would be the natural progression from the stool (drum throne) I sit on now... I used to sit on the floor a lot when I was younger. Also didn't wear shoes much even outside... Taking time to unlearn habits like this. Now if only I could afford to have an Asian style toilet installed.
I’m an English teacher and I have created a program called Wellness English, teaching English through wellness. I think this would really be soooo great, however doesn’t it get sore ? I have classes all day, one after the other, and I’m 50
Hi dear soul! Thanks for your question. So I would recommend trying it out and see what works for you. Maybe use the floor sitting for part of the time and see how it makes you feel. I also recommend using a yoga wedge like this one, underneath a cushion to elevate the spine, which really helps! Here's the one I use: www.gaiam.com/products/05-62025 hope this helps! 🙏☮💗🌻 blessings and light
Just think about the timeline of human history ....how long did we spend sitting on the ground/ floor , versus sitting in chairs? Hundreds of thousands or millions of years longer. Yet people think I'm weird for relaxing on the floor !!
I don't know why when I see someone who doesn't behave like her own culture, I subconsciously think that she/he has tendencies towards leftists and communists.
I can totally relate to this. I learned to live on the floor in other parts of the world when I was younger. It's always a bit weird when Europeans come to my house - they always expect tables and chairs, but people from other cultures are usually completely ok with getting comfortable on the ground.

I agree! I love it too
I ended up buying a chair with no arms and a wide base so that i can sit with my legs crossed at work lol. It’s a game changer
THIS VIDEO, appeared almost 2 months ago in my youtube recommendations,
I was not looking for it, i watched entirely for curiosity and...
It changed my life!!

This is so beautiful. I’m just beginning more floor sitting journey for WFH and your video was very helpful.

Got so excited to try this right away -- wow it's so much more comfortable and inspiring for me (as a guitarist), thank you! ♡

What a beautiful little video poem about a thing I am passionate about. Loving the aesthetics. Thank you :-) ❤

Write on!! I've been sleeping on a Japanese futon for years...only now am I starting to think of a floor desk. Thanks for the inspiration.
It seems like a way better way of living. It looks healthier, more peaceful and more happy.
I’m absolutely going to try this! My hips and back feel so locked up from spending most of the day sitting to write.I used to make a lot more time for dancing and other activities.

Great idea! I'm going to try it because I hate sitting in chairs, and although I love working in bed or on the lounge, it's bad for my back. A wedge cushion sounds like the secret to making it work. Thankyou!
I hope it helps! Thanks for being here
Thank you for sharing this, I am instantly inspired 🙏🏻
Love that acoustic

I am watching this video with my tablet on a small picnic table thing, while sitting on the floor. 😎
Working on the floor is the best!
I like your lifestyle. I'm a Japanese woman. When hearing the term ''chabudai'', I smiled. I used to use it.
Maxbe I should start using it again.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching! Your comment made ME smile...I am so happy that this video could mean something to you!💛✨

Thank you! That means the world💛
Those pants look amazingy comfy!
Where do you get those pants!? I absolutely love them. I want some so bad!
This video was right on time. I love the floor and all the space I had to really work and move freely. I'm currently in yoga teacher training as well.
Exceptionally presented and informative.
Yes! Very much this! I've recently decided to return to natural movement heavy lifestyle and training. Movnat is my chosen path. The ancient ways are sometimes the best!

Once I asked my physiotherapist friend, what is the best sitting position? The traditional Korea way. Glad you found it too :D
Amazing video, really valuable one

I use voice dictation, So my "process" has been me sitting, yelling into my phone.
I tried writing in a more peaceful environment, but I seem to be more effective in a lazy boy and angry.
Ha! What a visual. Awesome comment.
Love that you always mention about your karate practice! I also do shotokan karate
Yay! Fellow Shotokan karateka!🙏✨
I‘ve just spent my first work day on the floor of my room sitting on a yoga mat with my low nightstand as a „desk“ and it‘s really given me the opportunity to get so much more movement in so I‘m less gittery.

Your video's are always so calming and inspiring to me. Thx Kate
thank you so much
I like to sit on one or two folded Mexican yoga blankets. I can sit on it so that the front of my pelvic bowl is off the blanket, making the alignment of my spine, neck & shoulders so much more relaxed. I also like to sit in Seiza or with my legs stretched out in front of me. It hurts my knees to sit the way you're supposed to in a chair.

agreed! hoping to sit on the floor more I felt really seen not really being comfortable in chairs
Awesome video and share ❤
Dont think i will do my work sitting on the floor, the pets would come disturb me too often xD i would always have someone on my lap lol
but i am a big fan of minimalism and love hearing about how other people implement it!
i hope to buy my own place soon and live as a minimalist. i grew up in quite a cluttered household, as many people do, and its not rly my thing!
Nice video! I've been floor sitting for a couple of months now and came on to find others doing it and how they set up their space. Currently using a coffee table and a diy 3" step stool with a rug and cushion. I'll look into that wedge since I feel like I need a kneeling stool with the tilted seat. Ironically, when I lived in an rv, I converted the dinette into a desk space and didn't start doing the floor desk until I moved into a house. I subscribed and will look into your other vids. :)

Sit with your back supported against a wall on sitting in floor chair. Sit on something comfortable
Nice video with great editing. Very watchable! To add to the info in this video, I can't recommend highly enough the book "Move Your DNA" by Katie Bowman. Not an advertisement, but an excellent resource to be inspired by and grow in your natural/physical knowledge.
Hi there, i sleep on the floor (On a futon). I can only recommend it
I did sit on the floor for a long time until I broke my foot and my 5th metatarsal in my foot never healed or joined back together and i have been able to regain function and use it without surgery but, i can no longer sit on my foot. I cross my legs and even under my knee is too much on my foot. I had to change alot if things after from shoes, how i sit and for a long time i had to change how i dressed just for my foot. Im starting a research project and its time to set up a work space and consideration for whats getting me active and engaged but grounded into my work and comfortable for long enough. I get impatient and fidget and i cnt stay at a computer desk chair i cant sit for long enough and find myself walking away and wondering around if i dont have a good chair or sit on the floor. I have to pull my feet up or on a stool or into my chair. I spend most my time reading and taking notes so my feet and being anchored into my seat.. a heavy swivel club chair or on the floor. Feet and my anchor determines how long i stay in that study mode. I have to be as close as I can to outside too. I prefer outside or sunroom and i cant work or be in a room without a door outside for very long. I am always drawn to the rooms with doors and patios, so i tend to claim any room with outside doors as my personal space lolol.
Where did you buy the floor table? I wonder if you can share the size too.
Now I really want to get rid of my big desk :')
What is the foam wedge for?
Same with me..
I'm looking to live a minimalist life. I thought about getting rid of the furniture except for my desk and office chair.
I was experiencing pain sitting on the chair and put my feets up on a stools. My hip become hurtfull. Now i try to use a small stools to sit again and learn back how to squat down to sit everytime i want to sit and stand up. It makes my foot more healthy
Wonderful video. I'm a floor sitter but can’t find a table that works. What table are you using? ❤
What a great video on this subject, I haven’t seen anyone else recommend a foam wedge under their cushion! Where did you find a wedge like that?
Thank you, friend! I'm glad this video could serve you. I got my foam wedge from the yoga company Gaiam
I always sit in the floor it's normal for me.
One decent alternative is sitting on a sofa or a chair with your legs elevated I find this position comfortable and don't get any back pain.
Off topic but I need to know more about those pants please 😄
Where did you get that pillow?
Love it!
Thanks for watching! it's this one here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DR3X4NL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
Nice
Could you share your table size? Ty
Please, link to the wedge, featured at 2:35.
Because you can
very nice
Setting in good cristals is what throws me off 😅
💜
I hate sitting in chairs. I always pull my legs up and sit crossed legged on chairs and it's just not as comfortable as the floor. I'm so often sitting in the floor in front of my couch or whatever. I was preparing my writing space for nanowrimo and I'm defenitely moving that to the floor where I already did most of my prepping and outlining.
I sit on the floor all the time also, my friends think it's so weird.
What's the name of pillow you're using for sitting?
Pls guys can u say name of this table ?
i also sleep on the floor, is this something you do?
Thank you so much for your video. Is your rug some type of Japanese?

Hi, I was wondering if you still follow this lifestyle and if you have changed anything about it or would like to change? I am also interested in floor sitting as well as floor sleeping to better my health and life and its quite hard to get started and know what to start with and how it's gonna work out in the future. Thank you!
I suppose this would be the natural progression from the stool (drum throne) I sit on now... I used to sit on the floor a lot when I was younger. Also didn't wear shoes much even outside... Taking time to unlearn habits like this. Now if only I could afford to have an Asian style toilet installed.
I’m an English teacher and I have created a program called Wellness English, teaching English through wellness. I think this would really be soooo great, however doesn’t it get sore ? I have classes all day, one after the other, and I’m 50
Hi dear soul! Thanks for your question. So I would recommend trying it out and see what works for you. Maybe use the floor sitting for part of the time and see how it makes you feel. I also recommend using a yoga wedge like this one, underneath a cushion to elevate the spine, which really helps! Here's the one I use: www.gaiam.com/products/05-62025 hope this helps! 🙏☮💗🌻 blessings and light
Just think about the timeline of human history ....how long did we spend sitting on the ground/ floor , versus sitting in chairs? Hundreds of thousands or millions of years longer. Yet people think I'm weird for relaxing on the floor !!
How about a link to the foam wedge?
This is the one I use: www.amazon.com/Gaiam-Yoga-Wedge-Deep-Purple/dp/B01C45GH5A
Hey , please tell me how you avoid back pain or numbness in ur legs?...,I really need tat.
Welcome to mother earth! Sanathana dharma always insists this.
Can you add the link where u got the seat wedge? Thx❤️
Is that a macbook? :D
The cramps I would get tho
Are any of the sitting on floor advocates married with children? Would be interesting to see how this is incorporated in a family setting.
Yes, but not in USA
How Boho do you want to be?

Yes, well, clearly you are young, fit and healthy. For those of us with chronic low back and foot pain, at 52 years of age, this is just not possible.
This is completely irrelevant to the video 😂 but I have that same mousepad! XD
Look into Barefoot style shoes. I think you might like those.

The bigger the pants...What rhymes with pants?
I don't know why when I see someone who doesn't behave like her own culture, I subconsciously think that she/he has tendencies towards leftists and communists.
