THE GARLAND POSE (Malasana) 📣
#shorts
Sitting in a full squat is one of the most natural movements for the body!
How to start? Try to maintain this pose for a few seconds and gradually stay there a little longer.
If it's absolutely impossible, put your heels on a slightly elevated surface.
The muscles that take part in this pose are:
🔵 Quadriceps Femoris - stretches when the knee is flexed.
🟠 Gluteus Maximus - stretches when the hip is flexed.
🟢 Trapezius - adducts and depresses the scapula.
Want to improve your ankle and hip mobility? Try to add this pose as a warmup routine!
It is also useful as a preparation exercise for squats and many other lower extremity exercises.
