Dynamic Squat

Increase flexibility, balance and strength

Slowly come down to a squat position. Place your finger under your toes.

Gently rise, guiding the tailbone upwards — jaw remains soft, shoulders relaxed.

Moving with the rhythm of your own breath, Inhale as you rise up, straightening the legs. Exhale as you come back to a squat.

Inhale as the legs straighten and tailbone points upward, bringing fresh energy to the entire body. Exhale as you slowly come back to squatting, gathering yin energy.

Repeat this 6-8 times

On each movement try to create a little more length in the spine by extending down thru the crown on the ground to the earth and back towards the legs. Lengthen the ankle tendons by gently lowering the heels further to the ground in the squatting position.

Do your best with the flexibility you have today. Continued practice will increase flexibility, balance and strength.

The exercise release stagnant energy opening important channels in the spine. It relaxes the spine while stretching leg and back muscles, tendons and ligaments. It also promotes healthy kidney function.

Also, it's an excellent practice during breaks from your computer.
