The yoga Goddess Pose, or Utkata Konasana, is a standing squat that strengthens the hips and thighs, opens the groin and chest, and improves balance and posture. To perform it, stand with your feet wide, toes pointing out, and squat down with your knees tracking over your ankles while keeping your spine long. You can hold your arms in various positions, such as prayer at your chest or bent with palms facing forward.
