Resting Squat

Setup

• Start by standing with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointed outward at a slight angle.

• Stand on a yoga mat for stability.

Execution

1. Begin to lower your hips toward the floor, keeping your heels on the ground if your mobility allows.

2. Drop down into a deep squat position, ensuring your hips are lower than your knees.

3. Bring your palms together at your chest in a prayer position (Anjali Mudra).

4. Use your elbows to gently press against the insides of your knees, pushing them outward to deepen the stretch in your hips and groin.

5. Keep your chest lifted and your spine neutral—avoid rounding your mid-back.

6. Hold this position, focusing on deep, rhythmic breathing to allow your muscles to relax into the stretch.
