Garland (Yogi Squat) illustration

How to do it

Step the feet a little wider than the hips with the toes turned slightly out, sink the hips into a deep squat, and press the elbows against the inner knees with the hands at the chest.

What it should feel like

The inner hips and ankles opening, with the back lengthening downward.

Common mistakes

Forcing the squat with the heels lifted. A folded blanket under the heels lets the hips settle much more easily.
