Part 3/6:
1. Deep Squats: Cultivating Stability and Strength
The first exercise involves performing deep squats, which require significant core engagement and balance. With feet hip-width apart, squat down as if sitting back into a chair. As you inhale deeply, raise your body back up and exhale while slowly descending. Aim for a prolonged exhale—such as 12 counts—during the downward motion, while inhaling sharply upon rising. This exercise not only strengthens the legs but also activates the core, helping to build fire in the Manipura.
