Adductor Stretch in Yogi Squat

Description

Stand with your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart and your toes pointing slightly outward. Bend your knees to lower into a deep squat, keeping your heels in contact with the floor, or slightly raised if needed. Place your elbows on the inside of your knees and bring your hands together in front of your chest, then gently push your knees outward with your elbows while lengthening your spine. Keep your shoulders down, your neck long, and your gaze forward. Keep your breathing calm, letting your hips open gradually, without forcing.
