Squat - A variation

This is a nice variation of the regular squat and can be added to your practice as an individual asana or part of the suryanamaskar sequence. It not only strengthens the quadriceps (thigh muscles) but also gives a good twist and a squeeze to the spine. Try and twist more using the elbow to push your chest out more. People with knee problems ought to be careful!! In this picture because of lack of awareness one of my knees is slightly out, but maintain both at the same level. Hold it till you are comfortable with your discomfort :-) Add spice to your practice & have fun. Ciao.....
