Malasana

Malasana, also known as Garland Pose or Yogic Squat, is a foundational yoga posture that enhances lower body strength, flexibility, and overall body balance. This deep squat position engages multiple muscle groups including the hips, thighs, calves, glutes, and core, making it highly effective for improving functional movement and mobility.
