If you have ever been to East Asia, you may perceive what’s known as the “Asian Squat.” Yoga also joins this pose, which has heaps of medical advantages. You can practice this pose by standing with feet parallel, somewhat wider than hips. Then bend knees, keep the back straight, and take arms in front in a payer position. This pose helps stretch the crotch and delivers pressure on the hips and stomach.
