Squats are a staple in so many different forms of exercise, yoga included.
Squats are excellent for stretching and toning the low body, and malasana is no exception.
This posture stretches the thighs,hips, and groin, as well as opens up the chest.
It also strengthens the ankles and can help improve balance.
It also increases circulation to the pelvis.
Malasana is considered a good pose forbalancing the root chakra, too, as it’s very grounding.
(Theroot chakradeals with safety and security.)
