I have begun squatting more. Even when I used a chair at the computer, I could never get comfortable without squatting on the chair. But the floor is much better, as I can switch to different positions. I find that a position that is a modified Seiza is very comfortable, with my legs splayed or spread at right angles instead of tucked beneath me.
I have begun experimenting with yoga postures, I used to sit in siddhasana but I have lost flexibility over the years and need to gain it back.
I slept on the floor through most of my college years and after college for awhile, but caved into social pressures and got a bed some years ago, but I have decided to go back to sleeping on the floor (but on a mat like I did before, to approximate the softness of unfrozen ground). I think this is healthier. Also, less furniture means more living space (or less need for living space in general). These changes I am making in terms of raw plaeolithic diet, sleeping on the ground and relaxing (sitting without furniture) would make it possible to live comfortable in a much smaller living space than is required for most people in industrialized countries.
My S.O. has back and neck problems that I believe I can help her with by getting rid of furniture and practicing yoga.
