Shifting from your summer mindset into the Fall feels like a total drag. I hope this 14 minute video, Yoga in Madagascar, helps you feel more settled and Fall focused. Enjoy this slice of Madagascar, one the most raw and pure places you can set foot on.
Visiting Madagascar is a life changing experience. Madagascar is about the farthest place one can go from Los Angeles. Yet it truly felt homey. The people were incredibly kind, Madagascar actually has a midwest vibe.
The food was the most natural and delicious cuisine I’ve ever tasted. Everywhere I went, it felt like I was in a National Geographic tv special. From the coastal towns, to the villages, to the big city, my 5 senses were dancing. And you know what, I didn’t see one yoga studio or gym for that matter!
However, I did notice a lot of people in yoga poses. One in particular. Most folks in Madagascar knew how to easily squat. From kids to the elderly, they made squatting look easy. Wether they were just hanging out with friends, cooking, cleaning the dishes, shaving coconuts or digging for gold, sitting in a squat was completely normal.
Because of our modern lifestyle, with all the sitting at work and in our cars, squatting has become tough. All it takes is practice and you too can pop a squat anywhere you go too.
Why on earth is this important? One of my teachers used to say, “If you can only do one pose a day, let it be a squat.”
Benefits of Squatting
- Opens your hips and groins
- Stretches ankles, lower hamstrings, back and neck,
- Tones abs
- Helps with digestion
- Strengthens metabolism
- Keeps your pelvic and hip joints healthy
Thats a lot of goodness for one pose
*Enjoy this Madagascar inspired 14 minute yoga practice. Its full of squats, lunges and juicy leg work. Please do some yoga warm ups first and then press play.
Yoga Tip
If squatting is challenging for you, take a wider stance. Only go down to where your feet remain flat on the floor. Keep your spine lengthening towards the ceiling, not bent over. You may only be able to bend your knees a few inches, especially if you’ve had a knee injury. Thats ok, you are still receiving the benefits.
Check out the video and let us know how it went in the comments below. Do you find squats challenging or are you an active squatter?
Thanks so much for squatting with me,

Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a
paid option? There are so many options out there that
I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any suggestions?
Kudos!
Hi Royce,
Thanks appreciate your message. Honestly, I write from my heart and hope that it resonates and helpful to people. Haven’t looked further into paid options. There are a ton of opinions! I find I have to dig my heels in and research everything before I make a decision.
Empresa dedicada a la reparación e instalación de gas, calefacciòn y aire acondicionado. Después de perder mucho tiempo navegando por la complicada web de asistencia de Sony VAIO, dí con un un número de teléfono. Inocente de mí, al no haber pasado dos años de la compra, llamé al nº de teléfono para equipos en garantía. Ahí, un ordenador me dijo al introducir el nº de serie que ya no lo está, que es sólo de un año: primera ilegalidad: en España la garantía de los productos electrónicos es de 2 años por ley. Creo que no compro nada SONY , en mi vida y; !Ojo a navegantes¡si compras tecnología desde luego piensa en el servicio de postventa, no en SONY.
