About Grounding Squat Flow

Grounding Squat Flow combines a smooth squat with wide arms and an upward reach as you rise. The arms lower slightly with the body on the descent. Preview the whole rise-and-lower pattern before following its timing.

What to focus on

Keep the descent slow enough that you can reverse it comfortably.
Coordinate the upward reach with returning to standing.

Make the movement smaller

Use a shallow knee bend and keep the arms lower. Choose a smaller range rather than trying to reach the demonstration’s lowest point.

A mistake to watch for

Dropping quickly into the bottom and using momentum to stand. Reduce the depth until both directions are controlled.

Practice time and pacing

The app assigns 30 seconds to Grounding Squat Flow. Use that as a time block, with pauses whenever you need them. Move at the demonstration’s controlled pace; the timer is not a repetition target. Watch the full movement once before following along.
