This really worked for me: (A) a cheap, DIY standing desk arrangement (B) a cheap "stability cushion" to stand on so I'm neither standing totally still nor do

  Concerning point (C): I've found pooping with your feet on your tippy toes like a ballerina also does the trick (while still sitting down of course) to achieve the elevation of your legs to be in more of a squat position when pooping. If you ever go to China and have to squat to poop, that's also a good catalyst to finding the right squat position to best suit you.

    Although that's certainly better than nothing, it's really not the full deal at all. Even the squatty-potty which is way beyond just tip-toes is only about half-squatting. I've compared and the full squat is the real deal. People who want to do it (even in prep for a China trip) better work on simply spending time squatting in general. Apparently, westerners with sit-toilets actually lose the flexibility to do a relaxed, flat-footed squat at all.
