STANDING SQUAT Utkatasana 1 - Standing with your feet parallel and hip width apart, shift your weight toward the balls of your feet and press the soles of your feet downward.
This standing squat strongly strengthens the lower body while stretching the upper back, bringing balance and stability to the entire body.
Use grounding postures such as Warrior 1 and 2, mountain, goddess, standing squat, child, and prayer squat to connect with the body, to become rooted to the earth and to build strength and courage.
