Yoga Squat Pose

Video Transcript

"Malasana, squat pose is a pose that's going to begin to create fluidity in your hips and in your knees. But, we need to take care of our knees. So we want to start this pose just with your feet wider than your hips. We're going to pause to angle your toes wide. And you're going to determine just where your feet is standing. We're going to look for the comfort of your body so that we can begin to release your hips towards the earth, creating balance in both feet. We want to be able to invite the palms to your heart and we're going to have equal pressure between the knees and the palms. Now we're going to work on lengthening the spine, let the shoulders release down, feel the scapula, feels this physical movement of the scapula as your shoulder blades glide down the spine. Let's contract and lift all the muscles in the pelvic floor. This is again a pose that we want to take care the comfort of our knees. So if this is not available to you this morning or, take the blocks and support yourself on the blocks so that you can maintain, we're still getting some flexibility, and some movements, some extra blood flow into your knees, lengthen and pause."
