Can anyone really squat like that? It pains me every time I look at it.

brittm87 · October 2010

Bahaha! I squatted some what like that when I was in labor pushing DS.. Till my legs starting shaking uncontrollably! But I dont believe I ever got that low!

I can, but I've only tried while doing my prenatal yoga video. It feels divine.

We do it as a hip opener in yoga. It's not to hard to get into...it's getting out that is hard!

AutumnBride929 · October 2010

Hahaha. I can squat like that on the balls of my feet but not flat-footed. My crotch joints already feel like they're about to fall apart

I can now but can't imagine how I will spread my legs enough to accomodate a giant belly!

KateLouise · October 2010

I can, but I'm naturally flexible.

flowerchild77 · October 2010

I actually find that to be a pretty comfortable stance to use when I need to be close to the floor - you know, to clean the litter box, clean the cat puke, etc. (Yes my cats are a barrel of laughs!)

Yeah, it is pretty comfortable... I just find it more comfortable to be on the balls of my feet vs. flat-footed, haha. Your cats sound just like ours... except we only have one! Stick out tongue

Try spreading your legs further apart. I can do it pretty low, but I've been practicing for the last 16 weeks. I can get my heels down easily now if my legs are far enough apart.

I will try to practice more... I didn't do much squatting with my last pregnancy and all of a sudden I had a huge belly in my way, heh.

It just about killed me when I started doing yoga, but three years and lots of practice later it feels great! A lot of yoga teachers say it is the antidote to the back/knee/hip problems we experience sitting in chairs in the Western world.

This was me a week ago at my maternity shoot:

Although my heels aren't entirely down because I was in a hurry--the mosquitoes were insanely bad in that spot because of a still pond behind us.
