Making Movement Matter - Day 30 - Strong Squats

Here's my wee demonstration of how I'm currently getting myself strong in squats. Using the door like this really allows your knees to bend deeply at a lovely 90 degree angle without pushing pressure forward into the knee caps and ankles. It allows your pelvis to open deeply so that your glutes can lengthen and then contract which is where strength develops. No actively squeezing or scrunching your bum, you just need to stand tall and fully and the glutes will do what they need to do :-)

I'm working on this myself at the moment and chair pose in yoga eludes me. I know I'm making a shape but I also know i'm not doing it efficiently. I'll get there though! :-)
