Hi Everyone,
I was reading one of my books and it talked about practicing squatting. It said something about squatting to where your heels are touching the ground and it showed a pencil drawing of a woman doing so. I thought that had to be wrong because NO ONE can squat with their heels to the floor! Then yesterday I see my MIL doing it to talk to one of my dogs! She's in her 60s. Then I pop in this new prenatal yoga tape and their all doing it! I am relatively fit. I can touch my forehead to me knees with my legs streached out on the floor. I often sit in positions that other people find uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong I'm no contortionist but I am just slightly above the average when it comes to flexiblilty. Why can't I do this? Does it really matter that I'm not able to do it right and will it affect my ability to squat during birth?? I'm able to squat very easily just my keels aren't to the floor.
Thanks,
Amy
