Thought I would share this...

Highlights:
Stand with your head facing forward and your chest held up and out.
Place your feet shoulder-width apart or slightly wider. Extend your hands straight out in front of you to help keep your balance.
Sit back and down like you're sitting into an imaginary chair. Keep your head facing forward as your upper body bends forward a bit. Rather than allowing your back to round, let your lower back arch slightly as you descend.
Lower down so your thighs are as parallel to the floor as possible, with your knees over your ankles. Press your weight back into your heels.
Keep your body tight, and push through your heels to bring yourself back to the starting position.

But here's the thing every instruction says that your knees should be over your ankles which they never are in pictures and it is completely impossible with they way the human body is composed, it should say knees should be over the feet and not go out over the toes. But keeping knees parallel to the ankles is impossible.
I have been a competitive dancer for 13 years before I got sick including some modern and ballet for technique and I have actually tried many times to do it with knees over ankles, doing it gives a completely wrong posture and is hurtful for the lower back meanwhile not being able to get into a deep squat because of it.0 -
