Straight from Patanjali, so it’s fitting. Purusha vs. Prakriti.

[@jwill1027]

Thank you! Super helpful when you break down what the pose is for, how it looks, and pointers for them. You’re the best.

[@Livinleggings]

Glad it helps!

[@silviakathrin3273]

Such a great tutorial, thank you! Now I finally know how I can work on it properly 😊

[@ilanakali1030]

Thank you so much for this post. I've just started to sit cross legged and squatting more everyday and really needed this advice I'm going to use a yoga block with a cushion on top so I can squat for longer periods of time 😊

[@lornasadventures]

very helpful recovering from hip injury thank you

[@montinapolioni]

The cutest dog in the world .. next to my Hudson (they are almost identical in temperament and looks.. . and a great class.. got down into yogi squat almost with ease.. lol Thanks!!

[@pvspeaks]

I have been binge watching your videos. Awesome content. 💕

[@marliprice1983]

What about a class on feet and hands for yoga, unless I have missed those tutorials, I find both of mine are stiff. They seem key in the poses. Thank you for your great teaching 😊

[@elleneinhorn7944]

Thank you. Love your style, love the content, love your KZbin name. Very well describe me too. I am always in work out clothes.. ❤ Doing aerial, teaching fitness, yoga….. Very helpful tips that I can use teaching. Knew about blocks and blanket but never thought about putting my hands down👍👍👍

Ooooh! Nice variations! Super helpful!! 😀

What a fantastic tutorial! I learned so much! You answered questions I didn't know I had!

Thank you so much for this demo, it was Excellent!

Another thing that works is a Stay Ball. You sit on the Stay Ball, slowly walk your feet forward until your bum starts to sink toward your heels. There will be a point in which the ball will stay wedged between your back and bum. You can adjust as necessary to get the right depth of squat for your own body. I can stay there for whole tv programs without it hurting but still getting a good stretch. It’s for leaning into my tight ankles.

Hi, I really enjoyed this tutorial, could you possibly do one on pigeon pose? Thank you Debs xx

[@Livinleggings]

Hi debs! I’m glad you enjoyed it, yes I will totally do that. I’ll get it filmed as soon as possible and it’ll be on my channel in the upcoming weeks 🥰🙏🏼

This was very helpful 😍. Thank you for your awesome videos.

[@Livinleggings]

Glad it was helpful!

[@thothtahuti5509]

Very interesting, I have been able to do this since childhood. So many people I know can only do in on the balls of their feet/toes, not flat footed.... which is what makes it so comfy ::)

[@vanyaurmanova7706]

Helpful as always 💚

[@marnew1000]

Thank you Liv ❤

[@dawnrising22]

I can do thos, or I thought I could, but my back looks very rounded compared to how straight your back is. How can I improve with this? Thank you. Really great video x

[@pernillacarlsson1853]

Thank you!! Well explaining!!🙏

[@SuperPreacherX]

Great tutorial as always, thanks! 🙂

Ya good Women. Keep up the work and I hope that life is kind to you.

[@karunasagar9909]

This will help me do yoga namaskara

[@ioidt]

Thank you for posting this! Is this the same as the 'asian squat' ? Seen folks with closer knees together, i kept thinking my squat (pointing out knee like this is wrong ...) So this helps me lots to squat again!

[@hazlitt1]

Great video. Perhaps a front view might also help.

[@gene108]

Thank you for this explanation. This pose in yoga always confused me. In India, and other parts of Asia, squat toilets are common. People squat like this everyday. Never made sense why the yogis would’ve created a pose that everyone around them does daily. The fact it focuses on stretching the groin and improving hip flexibility as the focus of the pose is something I had not had explained to me before.

[@sl7722]

Does this work only when you lack hip mobility? I have the ankle mobility issue

[@jskweres2]

I feel this a lot in my front hips. Is there something I can do to help loosen that up?

[@cranebeg]

Me too! I think I've been going about it all wrong with the concern I have no ankle dorsiflexion and couldn't seem to improve on it, I've tried to force my heels down from the western or "froggy squat" as she described it in many elaborate ways. This discomfort/stretch in the hips might be the key. The very last variation, she saved the best till last imo. Staying on your heels throughout while using both hands behind to prop yourself up, although I put a foam roller against the wall at my current level plus it's wrist comfort to hold for a longer duration. I'm hopeful again at least 👍

[@earthspirit516]

My.butt comes all the way down to floor and spine.curves a bit forward. What to do?

[@LauraMLane]

Love your breakdown, thank you!!

[@ericasoto8164]

How long should you stay in this pose?

[@Livinleggings]

There’s no right or wrong! 5 breaths might be nice!

[@Lakorayoga]

yes i like 5 breathes aswell

[@jeffro202]

I tried tucking in front of the lounge to stop me from falling back, not sure if that is effective?

[@whatthe2458]

My left heal lifts up. How can I get it down?

[@KhadimHussainMir]

SUPER

[@geekns]

Another video where there's no explanation on how to stay upright when trying to get into this position. It's so very frustrating. My knees aren't trying to come in, my heels want to come up just so I don't fall over, but I cannot stay upright with my heels up or down. I didn't know that actually finding beginner content learning about why this happens was going to be such a hard ask.

@@chesslover8829 I don't have terrible mobility, I have terrible balance 🤣
