1. Encourages natural stability. Without the support of a chair, floor sitting forces you to engage your core for stabilisation.
2. Less hip tension. Prolonged chair sitting can make your hips tight and stiff. But when you sit on the floor, you can easily stretch your hip flexors.
3. Increased flexibility. Seated positions allow you to stretch your lower body muscles.
4. Increased mobility (i.e moving freely and easily). As you actively stretch certain muscles, your mobility will improve
5. More muscle activity. Some postures, like kneeling and squatting, are “active rest” positions. They require more muscle activity than sitting in a chair.
