Yoga Squat Freedom | Let Thy Heels Hover! {If You Can't Squat With Heels Down}

Squats are for everyone, even if your your feet won't go flat on the floor. This guided sequence explores the three main joints used in squat: the hips, the knees and the ankles. We warm up and stretch into these joints with a variety of postures. Learn your limitations in squats, and how to work with them.

Yoga Squat Pose, or Malasana, is one of the best yoga stretches for your feet, ankles, lower back, hips, and knees.

Not everyone can squat with their heels down, including me. Your feet may splay out since you can't squat with feet facing forward. Your body is simply unable to follow these old rules about proper squatting form and alignment. Let thy heels hover!

I created this class to accompany my Anatomy of the Squat article at

❤︎ ABOUT ME ❤︎

I'm Devi, a San Francisco yoga teacher who has been teaching for over 20 years. Yoga healed me from years of debilitating back pain, chronic anxiety and addiction in my twenties. Now at age 47, I specialize in teaching Yin Yoga, which calms the mind while relieving stiffness and joint pain.

I've never been one of the most flexible people in a yoga class - but I learned to transcend the aesthetics of pretty yoga postures and instead to tap into yoga's deeper gifts. I'm on a mission to share this with others, and I've created a system to make yoga work for each person, no matter how different they are. I now do this through my on-demand yoga classes, programs and trainings.

I’ve studied intensively with Suzee & Paul Grilley and was among the first teachers to earn their E-RYT 500 hour certification. My approach is a fusion of the Grilley method along with Instinctive Meditation, a system founded in the Radiance Sutras developed by Lorin Roche, with whom I’m currently completing 200-hour certification. I also incorporate my own deep work recovering from addiction, back pain, depression and chronic stress syndrome over 20 years.

I’ve owned and directed two yoga studios over 20 years and I’ve taught thousands of students.

As a Yoga Alliance Professional I've trained and certified over 150 yin yoga teachers since 2015.

Subscribe to this channel to help in my mission, which is to share the yoga skills that have helped me the most, with the people who can benefit the most from this kind of help.
