Reading recently that sqatting may be a healthier resting pose than sitting. I have been attempting it but my balance is off so maintaining is difficult. Any yoga practitioners have suggestions on good ways to maintain the pose while I adjust. Does anyone use this in normal life? If I can get this organized it could be quiet useful for gardening.
Hold on to a door knob for awhile....
Put a book under each heel
Increase your core strength by doing situps or legs raises...
Put your hands on your hips and twist back and forth...
Or start doing a duck walk... That helps immensely with balance, leg strength and butt strength...
I usually only squat in order to lift. I do however hunker when something to sit on isn't available.
Put something under your heels so you are on your toes a bit more. Also try holding something like a volley ball or soccer ball between your knees and see if that helps
