Wide Squat One pose I constantly find myself in is the Wide Squat. Not only is it a deep stretch for my hips, but I'm also always reminded to keep my chest open, shoulders down, and body upright when I'm in it. I hold this pose anywhere from 30 seconds to two minutes. From Wide Child's Pose, tuck your toes and sit up. Stand with your feet wider than hips-width-distance apart in a low squat, trying to bring your feet parallel. Press your palms together in front of your chest, or rest your hands on the floor in front of you and exhale as you relax your head. Enjoy holding this stretch for five deep breaths.
