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. Raise your arms overhead without letting your elbows touch your knees, and lengthen your spine by pushing the crown of your head upward. Keep your shoulders down and away from your ears, actively open your knees outward without using your arms, and keep your neck long, with your gaze forward. Keep your breathing calm, keeping your torso upright and letting your hips open gradually, without forcing.
