My name is Antoine Lahorgue, and I've been a Shiatsu & Massage practitioner since 2015 in Nantes. In sessions, I've always accompanied people, especially women, suffering from constipation and other transit disorders. That's when I became aware of the complexity of the problem: discomfort begets physical discomfort, which in turn begets even more discomfort...
So I naturally found myself wanting to advise my clients to squat in the toilet. Only the ergonomics aren't right. It's possible, but very uncomfortable, even dangerous.
I discovered the full squat while traveling in India in 2016 with my pregnant ex-partner. Back in France I built a first squat to continue to promote our transit, and help my partner relieve her post-delivery tears. It was a great success.
In 2018 while changing the seat of my toilet, I had an idea that has since changed my life: a sturdy suspended platform would perform the same function and could be adapted to any toilet bowl. Mulasana was born. Since then, I've been working to raise awareness of the issue and mobilize a team to carry out this ambitious project, which is culturally disruptive and upsets our preconceptions of comfort and modernity. I'm particularly targeting women, who are the first to suffer from today's poor ergonomics.
