The primal squat, also known as the asian squat is a fundamental resting position. This position can help your hips, knees, and ankles, become more flexible and pain free.

Omg! Thank you! None of my previous trainers have shown me how to achieve a deep squat/primal squat.

Interesting that YT showed me this video at this time. I’m a 70 yo woman who’s been able to squat on my haunches my entire life until very recently with a knee issue. So frustrating not to be able to easily fold into it, but working towards it. “You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone”!

It's the Ankle mobility that I have the hardest trouble with. Would love to hear more ankle mobility exercises on top of what's in this video! :)

This actually works I was so stiff after an operation and being in bed for weeks I couldn’t believe I could actually do this easily following these tips and the eye candy helps lots too ❤

As a youth, i could not do it, now in my 50's i can do it comfortably. Practice is everything.

I've been so frustrated with the deep squat. Definitely going to try this.

I just used a chainlink fence that surrounded a tennis court in a park. At first holding onto the chainlinks to keep myself from falling backwards. Then once I got down to the depth of the actual squat I kept pulling myself forward, maintaining comfort, but challenging myself into an ankle stretch.

Yes! This is one of the most important shorts you guys have ever put out right here. 💙💙

Glad I came across this channel…a sign I need to incorporate more stretching in my daily life!!

I love squats with prayer pose, feels so good for hips, groin, upper back, lungs!

🌸 as an Indian this is how most of us sit at times
Especially when I am camping etc, seeing chap working his way towards end result is so funny
This is something we did from childhood so it’s second nature

I widen my legs because I have a big belly but definitely wanna work to this position.

this really, really helps with tight hip flexors and back soreness that often goes along with being too tight

Thank you! Doing your squats on a mattress or thick mat helps in the beginning too.
