Movement Play

Squatting is a full body movement, allowing us to function in the world around us. Without the ability to squat, it becomes difficult and/or impossible to lower ourselves towards the earth, to sit, to toilet, and to get back up again. 

Squatting is a motor skill. Motor skills involve precise movement of muscles with an intent to perform a specific act.  The precise movements for squatting are developed through a series of movement components we begin practicing in infancy.

Teaching yoga and movement classes gives us the perfect opportunity to explore the components that actually combine to make a squat.
