Toe Pose Squat

Toe Squat Yoga Pose (Stretching)

Positioning:
1. Begin by kneeling on a soft surface, such as a yoga mat or carpet, to provide cushioning for your knees.
2. Sit back on your heels, making sure your heels are close to your buttocks.
3. Keep your feet close together, with the tops of your feet resting on the floor while your toes point straight back.

Movement:
1. Engage your core to maintain balance and posture.
2. Slowly lift your arms in front of you or place them on your thighs for balance.
3. Take a deep breath and focus on relaxing your muscles.
4. Hold the position for about 20-30 seconds, feeling the stretch in your ankles, calves, and feet.
5. To exit the pose, gently shift your weight forward, moving your hips back up, and come back to a neutral kneeling position.
6. Optionally, you can repeat the stretch for 2-3 rounds, increasing the time held as your flexibility improves.

Tips:
- If you feel discomfort in your knees, you can place a cushion or folded blanket under your knees for extra support.
- Keep your back straight and avoid leaning too far forward to maintain proper alignment.
