Is sitting in a deep squat the best way to improve it?

Welcome back to The Mindfulness, Movement, and Exercise Podcast — Season 3 is here, and I’m kicking things off by busting a few myths.

In this first episode, I dive into the deep squat obsession. You’ve probably seen the challenges — sit in a deep squat for 10 minutes a day and watch your mobility transform. But is it really that simple?

We’ll talk about:

• Why some bodies love deep squatting and others... not so much

• How structure and bone shape influence what’s possible

• Why forcing positions can backfire (yes, I’ve been there too)

• What we can learn from groups like the Hadza and their approach to rest and movement

• And why movement through a range is often more valuable than holding a position

Spoiler: variety might matter more than any one “ideal” position.

🎧 Tune in and let’s rethink what makes a deep squat actually useful — and when it might just be a shiny distraction.
