How to do it

  1. Squat all the way down until your glutes are close to your heels, keeping both feet flat on the floor.
  2. Bring your palms together in front of your chest and let your elbows rest lightly against the insides of your knees, gently nudging them outward.
  3. Keep your chest lifted and your back as straight as the position allows, and settle in.
  4. This is how humans rested long before chairs - the hold rebuilds ankle, hip and knee mobility that sitting quietly takes away.
