One of my favorite hip openers YOGI SQUAT. Although you're likely accustomed to comfortable chairs for sitting, the squat is actually a natural position in Eastern cultures for eating, cooking, waiting and reading. People who sit in this deep squat on the streets of India, China and Indonesia aren't practicing Yoga; rather, they have the suppleness and strength in their joints and muscles to make this position feel natural and comfortable.
1️⃣ After DOWNWARD FACING DOG jump between Your legs. Your feet are strong and grounded on the mat.
2️⃣ Take Your palms together to Your chest, maintain spine straight.
3️⃣ With elbows push Your knees outside and open Your hips even more.
‼️ PLAY TIME 💁♀️🙃 ( I love that You can play around in YOGI SQUAT and not only open Your hips but also Your chests and work with strength).
4️⃣ release Your right hand on the mat and rise left one up, open Your chests.
5️⃣ Bring that left hand behind Your back and try to catch both of the palms together. Stay here for 5 breaths.
6️⃣ After move all of the weight to the left side and come with the right foot closer to the left one. Bring that right side of Your body up, and slowly take Yourself up, extend Your back and stay here for 5 breaths.
‼️ BENEFITS of YOGI SQUAT
YOGI SQUAT directs your energy downward and uses gravity to stretch your inner groin and thighs. Practicing it regularly in your yoga practice strengthens your thighs, adds mobility to your ankles and stabilizes your energy
Read books and do squats, grow Your mind and 🍑. NOT open Your hips :)
