Yoga Dife Squat

Yoga Squat Dives Stretching Instructions

Positioning:
1. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Engage your core and maintain a relaxed posture.
3. As you prepare to go into a squat, bring your palms together at your chest in a prayer position.

Movement:
1. Slowly bend your knees and lower your hips into a squat position, keeping your back straight and your chest lifted.
2. Aim to have your thighs parallel to the ground, or as low as your flexibility allows while maintaining good form.
3. Hold the squat for a few breaths, feeling the stretch in your hips and legs.
4. To transition out of the squat, place your hands on the ground in front of you for support.
5. Lift your hips up and straighten your legs into a forward bend, keeping your feet flat on the ground. Allow your head and neck to relax.
6. From the forward bend, bend your knees again to return to the squat position and repeat the movement as desired.
7. You can incorporate a gentle rocking motion, shifting your weight from your heels to your toes while maintaining the squat to deepen the stretch.

Tips:
- Keep your knees aligned with your toes to prevent strain.
- Breathe deeply throughout the movement, concentrating on relaxation and flexibility.
- If you're unfamiliar with the squat, practice depth gently to avoid injury.
