My floor desk video went mini-viral so I had to buy Olympic rings | floor desk updates & FAQs

This is an update video about my floor desk. After my initial floor desk video randomly popped off, I got a lot of questions so I wanted to answer what I could in this update video.

Who wants to see a video about barefoot shoes? Lmk!

[@stitchtehzombie7420]

meeee! im also on a journey of ditching things for more natural options, so like you im sleeping on the floor, working on the floor, and wearing barefoot shoes (which im obsessed with) and doing Nopoo :3 also i really like your vibe

[@natashatheresa]

@@stitchtehzombie7420 I honestly did not know about Nopoo until you mentioned it just now. Do you use baking soda and apple cider vinegar? As it stands now, I wash my hair 1x a week and that seems to work for me bc any more would dry it out but this nopoo thing has me intrigued lol

[@majorfifthmusic]

I've been wearing Injinji toe socks and Altra wide toebox shoes for a few years and my feet have gotten SO wide that I can't fit my feet in "regular" shoes HAH. I'm very happy with how my feet feel now, though!!

[@natashatheresa]

@@majorfifthmusic that's so great to hear!! it's crazy that "regular" shoes are really not right for our natural foot shape but that's what is mainstream. but when we know better we can do better and feel better hahahah

[@majorfifthmusic]

@@natashatheresa YES! I had difficulty finding shoes that fit me without pain for years, but then I broke my toe 🙃 (ring toe!) and it doesn't bend anymore, so all of the wide and comfy shoes I had prior to that didn't fit anymore without that toe rubbing. I now wear my Altras with Injinji or just big old school Crocs with no socks!! 💕🐊

[@robinwright531]

My physio says there’s no bad posture, just the bad posture you hold for a long time. Your setup promotes moving so that’s gonna do so much for you!

[@jamesholmes6158]

What you have to say about ergonomics is spot on - the key is regularly changing your position, not finding THE perfect position (because we're made to move). Looking forward to the sit floor standing desk vid!

[@natashatheresa]

Thanks James!! Hoping to make that video soon, currently working on getting the desk hehehehe

“Never stop playing”

[@Bubilue_]

The truth

[@singlecloud]

You know what I see in this video? A beautiful, joyfull woman (and family!). The most important message in this video for me is to accept change, know that it might be temporary, and have fun in the process! The rings seem so cool to hang from, I can totally see myself casually hanging from time to time when I pass by them lol. Your progress on lifting your legs like your son is amazing! And your maternity photo is stunning, I know both of you where happy in that picture 💕 Thank you for showing the updates to your desks! Those pillows look so comfy!

[@natashatheresa]

This is like the sweetest comment. Thank you so much! Yeah the rings have been great bc I can randomly just hang from them every few minutes lol!!!!

[@ros8986]

one thousand years of zen buddhists can attest to being on the floor is not bad for your back.

[@natashatheresa]

RIGHT? And last time I checked, babies and toddlers be on the floor like ALL the time HAHAHAHAHAAH!

[@CarlYota]

Hundreds of thousands of years of homo sapien evolution can also attest that living on the ground outside is not bad for your back. Modern furniture is a new invention. Hunter gatherers still sleep in the dirt just fine.

[@dwagner7117]

Yes to barefoot shoes! Since you are on that journey to better everything I thought I would casually mention them as an option - but you are already there! Awesome!

It’s funny bc it’s like all intertwined hahahaha!!

Thank you so much! It's like so.. scary and exciting all at the same time LOL!

[@DaphneVassalotti]

Loved the Olof leg lengthening surgery comment!

[@natashatheresa]

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I actually had a longer voiceover going into how I didn't even know that leg-lengthening was a real-life thing that some people do but it just got a bit too out of hand LOLLLLLL

[@Luma994]

Your happiness is contagious. ❤

[@natashatheresa]

Hahahah thanks so much ♥️♥️

[@CarlYota]

Every position is horrible if you get stuck in it for hours. Every position is great if you're only in it for a few minutes. Standing desks don't solve anything if you're stuck there not moving all day. Some of the hardest days I've had at work (in a machine shop) is when I"m stuck standing at a drill press for three hours barely moving. Standing is not magic nor is it better than sitting, posture wise. The best position is the next position. People need to move. It's just that so many people are dead set on working for hours at a desk and not moving so they think standing there, not moving is better than sitting and not moving. This is just not the case in my experience.

[@natashatheresa]

Amen, I’m right there with you!! And I really like that saying - the best position is the next position!

[@lolofunslayer4953]

My ankle is broken watching you jump like that! I love your energy, congrats on all the views!

[@natashatheresa]

Hahahahahah thank you so much!

[@JazIsRad]

I actually purchased an Uppeal for my husband because he loves to sit on the floor and always used to have his work stuff all over the living room coffee table instead of his office! 😤😤 It's absolutely perfect and the only one of it's kind that I could find that went to the floor, chair, and standing. I use a Japanese kotatsu as my desk and don't like to stand when I'm working at all lol.

[@natashatheresa]

That is awesome! I'm glad to hear you guys are enjoying it!!!

[@damsel72]

You have to be the funnest and funniest mom on You Tube👍 I have been thinking about sleeping on the floor for a few weeks now and your video came up-I subscribed. I am 52 and have begun to learn windsurfing- I will never grow up, even if my body thinks differently. ❤💪

[@natashatheresa]

This is so kind of you to say! I am so glad you found your way here! Windsurfing? That sounds amazing I love this for you!!!

[@singingsanja167]

"Only if you grow up while staying a child, you are a human" - badly translatetd from Erich Kästner: "Nur wer erwachsen wird und ein Kind bleibt, ist ein Mensch". Playing makes us human. Congrats on the rings, and the video success, and thank you for vibes and humour and being you. It is, as others already said, very refreshing and enjoyable to watch. And BTW, this humble yoga-practitioner over here admires your son's super flexible hips!... I'l never get there. But I will also not stop trying. ;-)

[@natashatheresa]

Thank you for sharing that quote with me, and for your kind words of encouragement. I appreciate you being here with me on this journey and I'll let my son know you are impressed hahahahaa. Yeah, let's aspire to that level of flexibility LOLLLL

[@ros8986]

you can get a larger zafu (round cushion) and use it to sit on or kneel on it. there is also something called a seiza bench which is a short bench that is slanted and is meant for kneeling on it - there are two styles - one where the bottom edge of the leg pieces is straight (so it does not adjust) and one where the bottom of the leg pieces is curved so you can adjust the angle between your lower and upper leg. These are all standard zen meditation items. Note there is something called a zabuton - it is a square mat (about 2 inches thick) usually stuffed with kapok (which feels like cotton).

[@natashatheresa]

Thanks so much for all this info! Yeah I had been seeing these float around but didn't dive too deeply into it yet! Thanks for laying them out for me in an easy to understand way! ❤️

[@ros8986]

@@natashatheresa I forgot to mention - you put the zabuton on the floor, and the pillow(s) or seiza bench on top, the zabuton is padding/cushion for your knees and shins (if you are kneeling). and it looks cool.

[@DomesticKrys]

So cool-your journey & the mini viral! I definitely want to know more about the barefoot shoes & anything else you’re trying! 💗

[@natashatheresa]

Hahahaa thank you for your kind comment! Okay cool - Hopefully someone will send me a desk if there’s enough interest hahahahaha!!

[@TheCrimsonStitchery]

I'm happy your video has been popular! :D Ever since discovering Katy Bowman's books (Move Your DNA, etc) I've been on a journey to incorporate more movement in my life. Switched to minimal shoes, got rid of the couch and am transitioning to low furniture. I've been looking for content to inspire/support these changes. I also found the Thoughtworthy Co vids, and some vids by Movementum helpful. But...well...let's just say that a lot of the peeps out there aren't quite my vibe, or they're discussing a lifestyle that I can't relate to. Anyway all that's to say that it's awesome seeing you & your family making this work. Thanks for continuing to inspire me! I'd love any tips about hanging exercises, we have a pullup bar but I struggle with it a lot.

[@natashatheresa]

Thanks for your kind words! It’s so great to connect with others who are on a similar journey, I love KZbin for that! And thanks for letting me know what would be helpful! As I get used to “hanging out” more, I can share some ideas hahahahha

[@barbkandel777]

Tasha! I love everything about this video!!! I am sorry that people are coming at you. You do you! You are really on to something. Your personal mobility and flexibility are proof. I love your Olympic Rings and I knew you would be awesome on them. I love watching you swing like a little kid. You are such an inspiration to me. Keep up the good work! Yes, do the Barefoot Shoes video as well as do one on the sit-to-stand desk. Olaf is looking great. Lol Great video!!! ❤❤❤

Everyone is different, love that you are sharing your journey on knowing yourself, so refreshing

[@natashatheresa]

Thanks for your kind comment my love!!

[@cortisolcalibrator]

Love this. A few weeks ago I had started working on my coffee table sitting cross legged on a bean bag just cuz the ambiance was so much better in there (coffee shop vibes) but stayed after realizing how much more comfortable and easy it was for me to be able to stretch out my legs on the floor or lay back on the large bean bag whenever I wanted a break from the screen :D

[@natashatheresa]

Yasssssssssssss I love this for youuuuuuu

[@HydrogenTwoO]

I am so excited about your channel, and you hanging upside down from the rings is such a vibe!! :D Edit: I wear barefoot shoes too! A lot of people ask me about them in person, so I think there's growing interest. We are supposed to have our toes spread out to a healthy degree, and our big toe is there for support. This typically doesn't happen w/ the modern shoe design due to the toe box. Whether we're talking about feet, back, etc, our entire body is connected (kinetic chain).

[@natashatheresa]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH. Thank you for being invested in the journey HAHAHAHAHAHAAH

[@natashatheresa]

I just read your edit! YES EXACTLY ALL OF THIS! I wish i had known this growing up... we're just led to believe that all these name brand shoes are what's best for us, but it's all just for optics and style, at the price of healthy feet! I used to wonder why I could never just have shoes that didnt' hurt... I kept trying to cram my feet into these "stylish" shoes when they were deforming my feet for years! But I'm glad I know now, and my kids will have healthier feet as a result!

[@RTAV108]

@@natashatheresa Wow! This concept of barefoot shoe is totally new to me! I guess it is designed to give room for toes to spread naturally. It's wonderful that such healthy changes are taking place in design world where everything is not about the looks and glam. Only after a lot of people must have experienced pain and discomfort from conventional shoes that someone took initiative to bring about this change in design.

Thumbs up for your son talking about cash money! 🤣

[@natashatheresa]

Lolllll he knows what’s up

[@RTAV108]

Congratulations on your new rings 😃😃 You can also have Japanese designed floor chairs as an alternative to floor cushions. As basic as they are, cushions do not give lumber and back support while you are seated which is actually essential for stopping one from slouching. Do try to find a permanent solution for this issue as in the long run it will give trouble, even if currently it seems okay. And you getting up from the floor with that ease is very impressive and assuring!! I used to be able to get up like that without resting hand on the floor till a few years ago, but lately I realised that it was when we were still using Indian style WC! I thought I will be that flexible forever just because I have done it all the time, but it was not true. I noticed that after switching to western style, I lost that agility without me realising it! Now I have to make conscious effort to bring that flexibility back, just by making a point to sit on floor and try to get up without any support.

[@natashatheresa]

Thanks so much! Thanks for your insights - have been looking into those kind of chairs as well, just trying not to buy 10 million things at once lollll! Regarding your flexibility - At least you are noticing about the agility and can make efforts to get back to it!!

[@GamerGurl236]

Maybe I should try this, sleeping on the floor and sitting...

[@natashatheresa]

Yah look into it!! Don’t go all in right away though just do like little bites and see how it goes lol!! The floor bed definitely takes a couple of weeks to adjust to but now I’m really all about it!

[@lindaroyal8161]

Yes - video on the shoes, please. I've been through 14 pairs in the past year, of ordering, they don't fit and then having to return. I have a wide foot, even the ones that say wide & extra wide, were not wide enough. After much aggravation, trial & error, I accidently stumbled on a pair that are working for the time being. They are actually wide enough. I ordered the men's which are wider than the woman's but they look identical and I'm all about comfort than style. I have mobility issues, so getting shoes on quickly was very important to me. These are like the Sketchers Slip on ones without the brand name or the price; I did try Sketchers and had to return them as well, not wide enough either. I still have to use the long shoe horn, from Dollar Tree, to assist but I'm OK with that. They are Tober, sold on Amazon and were $29.99. I'm very interested in the ones you have, I saw them while looking for shoes and curious how they fit and feel. TY I'm 73, with arthritis in my hip, so my days of being on the floor are over with. I'm glad the floor desk is working for you and it's cool to see you so excited about it. Congrats on all the views and the rings, they do look fun!

[@natashatheresa]

Thanks so much Linda! Yah some shoes I realize I need the men’s version bc it’s a bit wider! And yes our shoes shouldn’t hurt us, that defeats the whole point! Ok it’s good to know there’s a lot of interest in barefoot shoes I can start planning that vid hahahaha! The shoes I’m currently into are Xero and BeLenka but there are a LOT out there. Check out Anya’s Reviews bc she talks about how some brands offer wider solutions

Hahahahahahahhaha! Thanks Jakub! Here’s to floor living hahahaha

[@EntangledFields]

I backed Uppeal as a Kickstarter supporter and never got a desk, so do let me know if you manage to find something! Moving my setup to a standing desk is a pain when I have papers spread out. For an easy DIY standing desk, you can make a shelf that tips down from the wall and folds back up when finished. It's dangerous if you tend to lean on your desk with your elbows, but I try to take that as a sign I need to switch back to the floor.

[@natashatheresa]

OH NO!!! I'm sorry to hear about that!!! I love your DIY standing desk idea thank you!!

[@TessaNewberry]

Thanks for the fun update Natasha! The idea of a floor all the way to standing desk is interesting! I love the flexibility (is that a pun?) that something with that much range offers and it seems like it would make trying out a floor desk more convenient. Except for the price, but eventually I was wanting to get a motorized standing desk anyways. I've never really considered a floor desk. My husband is Korean and when we're in Korea with his family I do a lot more floor sitting than in the US and it's always a challenge for my hipflexers and my hamstrings. Maybe I'd fit in more there after using a floor desk at home - haha. The desk I currently have was built by my dad and is modular, so I think it could be transformed into a floor desk so I might give it a try! I have really bad flexibility naturally so I think this would be difficult for me to commit to full time at least at first. I do have to do a lot of work on my computer (from home) but I think maybe during recreational use of my computer I'll try using the desk as a floor one! Glad I stumbled on your mini viral video! Subbed and looking forward to future videos and things that you try! Tessa

[@natashatheresa]

Glad to have you here Tessa! Yah, maybe try it out on a smaller scale , at the very least you will get some more squats in hahahahaha! That’s cool that your dad builds things hehehe!

[@DygmaLab]

Have you thought about trying a split ergonomic keyboard? I think it would help with your posture. Some of them have multiple positions that can adapt to the different ways you can sit on the floor!

[@artsyberry27]

Watch the Blue Zones documentary. The first episode is in Okinawa, where you see that the traditional Japanese traditional life floor-sitting is often broken up by standing-up activities. :) You’re the only KZbinr who got me to try pretzel-ing…. it didn’t work lol. Keep doing your thing, you have the right energy to make it big in this platform ^^

I am familiar with the Blue Zones but haven’t watched the documentary just read some books! I love learning about what other cultures are doing for longevity! Pretzeling lol! I’m sorry it didn’t work! I have to post my progress thanks for the reminder lol! You are very kind thanks so much for the encouragement!!

[@michellet9985]

Love your energy! Noticed you asked for some cable tips. For a quick wire/cable management solution, try cable management boxes for the powerstrips/big chunky blocks, you can also just toss most of your excess slack in them. For a little more work, you can also zip tie/route a lot of the cables coming onto your desk to risers/monitor stands, and even parts of the desk, ect.

[@natashatheresa]

Thanks Michelle!!! I’ll look into these!!

Beautiful video! Thank you :-) I am so tempted to try out many of the floor ways but I suffer from PPMS and can only handle being home, often sleep or sit in a far leaned back chair. Though I really don't want to loose the strength in my body so I often try to walk when I shouldn't (though keep safety in mind) so including some floor life could easily help me strengthen even more.

My first time to your channel is via that viral video. I was searching for working desk to fit the small house set up in Japan, and yours pop-up. I also visits the Trustworthy Co over their floor desk and I am convinced to give it a try as I move to a new place next month. I was upgrading my home work desk over the years and seems like it had reached a plateau. Hopefully floor desk will work for me. Thanks for introducing the idea. And... Your videos are great! Perhaps a little more filter/ rephrase over the audience's question will sustain your channel's branding. All the best in both health & career :)

I ordered a floor desk in 2020 and absolutely love it! I have a day job that I can’t work remote at and have to sit at a “real” desk and it’s the worst. I feel so much stiffer stuck there all day than I ever do at my floor desk.

[@natashatheresa]

I also am at an office, part time, and having a regular desk there is not fun either hahahha! Glad you love your home floor desk!!

[@mysli_vsluh]

Great video! Good luck with the channel!

Please consider learning tai chi - it totally strengthens your legs

[@natashatheresa]

Thanks!!! Have you been practicing a while?

[@ros8986]

@@natashatheresa I only did it for a few months and then other things got in the way. Basically it strengthens your legs because the whole time your legs are very slightly bent. It feels wonderful, it is important to do it slowly. The man who taught my class was 75, looked 55, moved like he was 25.

[@natashatheresa]

I think this can be also applied in the kitchen In village and country side in morocco kitchen does not have a counter top it’s on the floor with a round wood table easy to move and with a carpet the oven and fire place sometimes is high and to use the « kitchen » u can site on the floor chopp veggies on the rpund moving table or a plate on the floor then cook while on squad position been stand is when u walk

[@natashatheresa]

Thank you for sharing! That sounds really cool!

[@EntangledFields]

Yes for sprained ankles all the time! Landing from a jump was always so hard and painful if I didn't time things just right. Definitely look into hypermobility! Most Asians are hypermobile, genetically, and it definitely shows in the traditional activities. I use chopsticks a lot and it helps tremendously with hand pain when writing by hand. I have gotten strong on the outside of my foot too (although not to the jumping stage- you're amazing 🤩), but that means my muscles tend to stick that way and the inside muscles of my foot gets very unhappy. Have you tried doing similar standing and jumping tricks on the inside of your feet?

[@natashatheresa]

Thanks so much!! I didn't think about that, but it makes sense to try to even it out!! I don't usually do that parlor trick much, it's more of a recent thing but I'm going balance it out right now [leaves keyboard and proceeds to jump onto insides of foot]

[@anavs2008]

Barefoot shoes really are a game changer!! and movement, absolutely. if you want more movement strength, theres a youtube channel called strength side that has really good videos on natural movement

[@natashatheresa]

Thanks so much for sharing I’ll check them out!!

Oh yes, do a video on the barefoot shoes. I'm currently starting to use toe separators to create better toe health. 💜

Tipp for kabelmanagement: just put this whole mess into a shoebox. You can pocke holes in the back and side. That hides most of is

[@ashesrockstotaldrama]

Your channel is a gem :) I pray for your continued success. I was wondering how did you go about getting your foot behind your head? I’m 23 but wayyyy less fit than you and I wanna be a hot mama just like you 😂

[@natashatheresa]

Your comment made me LOL!!! Thanks for your kind words and the good laugh! Honestly I just have been doing the pigeon stretch? And then trying to get a little lower each day. I also try holding my leg up as high as I can without pain just for a few seconds each day hahahahah

[@TMi562]

Basket for the wires 😊

[@tristankujawski203]

Fantastic vid!! Was thinking about switching my shoes, would love to hear your thoughts on the barefoot shoes!! It's so refreshing to see a real person have the results everyone talks about. I feel motivated to make similar changes to my living space!!

[@natashatheresa]

Oh I’m so glad! Yay for being real peoples hhahahaha!! And for sure a barefoot shoe video is in the mix!

[@blanketmonster429]

Your affect is infectious! Perfectly embodied how I felt these last four years as I went on my own journey to healing my upper back. I started in the same areas with minimal footwear and floor sitting etc. now I’ve got a PT who is wonderful and working on strengthening very specific muscle groups with me. It’s incredible to be pain free, I just wish I knew sooner that going back to my indigenous roots would be the key rather than continuing to do what everyone else does/recommends in this white society. 🤪

[@natashatheresa]

Lollllll! Very glad to hear you found a path to healing and it didn’t involve needing surgery or injections. Modern medicine is all about treating symptoms and not investigating to get to the root cause. Sometimes it’s just so simple of a fix but we overcomplicate in our journey to make life more “comfortable” ooof it’s a whole thing lol

[@TatiannaSpencer]

I love your energy! Movement is key. Have you read Built To Move by Kelly and Juliet Starrett. The book includes a movement challenge that you might enjoy.

You have started something that I hope will break the side of interbet ajout '' ergonomic optimal prodyctiviy'' BS. I had not felt stress for real singe two monthd before going on amazon yesterday bc I have to buh a desk, made me stress a whole lot. Watching your vid, I' m like, meh, go back to meditating it doesn't really matet what desk you pick, as long you play and move you'll stay alive aha !

[@natashatheresa]

Yay for staying alive lollllll! Yeah I feel like all this ergonomic stuff is just people trying to find ways to work for longer periods of time without moving but it’s doing us more harm than good hahahhaha

[@amychen2504]

Gorgeous maternity photo and your William is just adorable. That hair! That flexibility!

[@natashatheresa]

Hahahahahah the hair hahahahah Thanks love for watching!

[@sarahaurora.official]

Thank you so much for your videos. The end got to me. It's very true. Would you also elaborate on your barefoot shoes? I'm also venturing on this journey. Much love.

[@natashatheresa]

Okay it’s on my list! And thank you for being here!!! Much love to you too!!

[@charlotte8512]

What kind of barefoot shoes do you wear? I sprain my ankles all the time and have always been told I have weak ankles too!

[@natashatheresa]

We have been lied to. Hahahahaha. The brand that has worked for me is Xero but I like the dress shoes from BeLenka hehehehe. Check out Anya’s Reviews for lots of in depth info about barefoot shoes and how to start and stuff too. She has promo codes too and just a great starting point

[@fenflies]

How do you install the rings? Did the ones you buy come with instructions? I have gym rings but no ceiling mounts so I just have them attached to my pull up bar for now but I would love to have them directly on the ceiling instead!

[@natashatheresa]

I found the ceiling joists with a stud finder and bought some mounts (link in description) and bolted them directly into the ceiling joists. Each mount is rated to hold up to 600 lbs

[@stylishthriftye]

yes! video about barefoot shoes plz!! :)

[@natashatheresa]

awesome yay glad to hear it!

[@Runner8617]

Yes please! How long have you used barefoot shoes? Other than the ankle issues, did you have any other reasons why you switched, or was it just as a preventive measure? Or just because of videos about barefoot shoes and people swearing by them? Do your kids wear barefoot shoes? It's been a few years since I started wearing them to try to heal a bunion, still working one straightening the bunion and strengthening the feet. 😕

[@Runner8617]

Also would love to know how you deal with wearing barefoot shoes in winter when it rains? My feet get SOAKED because the barefoot shoes don't have that "raised" cushioning. Do you just switch to regular shoes when it rains?

[@extrememinimalism]

​@@Runner8617what style is the shoe? I have a pair that soaks me which is a fabric style and another which is leather boots style that doesn't and I can jump in puddles with ease with those.

[@natashatheresa]

Sorry I’m just seeing all these now! I don’t get notified of replies to replies or something lol! I have bunions, and always had foot issues growing up. I used to think that bunions were genetic and so I was freaking out that my kids would get them. In fact I noticed my daughter’s feet were starting to form some and so in my research I learned about barefoot shoes and the wider toe box, the more flexible sole, etc. Now both kids have healthy splayed feet. As for me, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fully straighten my bunions out but I have a better toe splay and more independent control of each toe rather than them just always being squished together. I no longer have any foot pain in any of my shoes and my balance is so much better… I used to have lower back pain and also some knee issues here and there but that seems to have all resolved as well.

[@alpinyoable]

What about your normal desk and your ergonomic chair in the background how often do you use it?

[@natashatheresa]

Those are my hubby’s hehe :) I’ll be coming out with an updated floor desk video by Monday, this new desk goes from floor all the way to standing :)
