#yoga for #squats Squatting properly requires good balance and quite a bit of hip, ankle, and shoulder flexibility and mobility. The legs break the parallel plane and the butt comes to within a few inches of the floor at the bottom of each rep. This is more commonly called as ATG (Ass to grass). This requires significant lower body #mobility to execute safely. Lack of #hipflexibility Is probably the most common problem that prevents people from squatting properly. fundamentals of the squat : - reaching proper depth with neutral spine. -keeping the weight on your heels. -preventing your knees from buckling in. The main areas of attention to facilitate a good squat are : - Shoulder / T Spine to facilitate #thoracicextension - Hip Flexors - Hamstrings for keeping the #pelvis neutral - Ankles for #dorsiflexion There are many #mobilitydrills and stretches to address the above. However, I always like to integrate Yoga postures into #strengthtraining to facilitate mobility and flexibility. All the years of #yogapractice ensures mobility and flexibility is taken care of, thereby allowing me to execute the exercises with perfect form and posture. start focusing on mobility and you should see a rapid and dramatic improvement in your squatting.
