Yogic squats

August 1, 2018

 

I am trying to incorporate this yogic squat into daily life. In Sanskrit it’s called Malasana and it is so good for lengthening the spine and strengthening the thighs. I can’t hold it for very long just now so I’m trying to improve it every day. It is brilliant for grounding and for supporting the digestive system. I’ve also come to realise that the aches and pains in the back that have accumulated over the years are not just down to falling off my bike (although some definitely are), but are due to bad posture, especially when sat hunched over my laptop typing away. This yogic squat is actually a very natural state for us to be in instead of sitting on chairs. It’s the position our body should be in for shitting, and for giving birth. Finally, a few of my friends have told me they’ve given up on using a Mooncup because they struggle with getting it in and out. Yogic squat and a push of the internal muscles makes this so easy. Only took me a few years to figure this out ??‍♀️. #dailyconnectionwithnature day71
