Toe Touch Squat Progression

Movement into the drill should initially go only to a comfortable depth rather than the full range. The drill reinforces a squat-related position through a combination of controlled movement and breathing. The drill begins from a standing position with a slight bend in the knees, followed by folding forward to touch the toes. From the toe-touch position, the fingers walk forward along the floor while the knees move forward simultaneously. The depth of the drill position can be increased over time as the practitioner adapts.
