Also known as the Grok Squat (in Primal circles) or Malasana (in Yoga).
- Knees a little wider than shoulder-width
- Lower your torso straight down between your knees
- Try not to bend over, keep a tall chest
- Lower until your butt is as close to the ground as it can get
- Hold anywhere from :30 to 5:00
- Use a weight or a bench to help keep balance during the beginning stages
- This can take up to a year to achieve, be patient and squat like this every day
- This squat stretch benefits your: feet, calves, Achilles, hamstrings, quadriceps, buttocks, lower and upper back, and shoulders.
The post at the bottom of the page is from my Monday Morning Mini-Habit series on Instagram and Facebook. Below is a video of the deep squat stretch.
