    To crouch down is a natural movement. It’s a resting position in Asia but not in the West - since many people simply stop doing it at some point when growing up. Start in a standing position, squat down naturally, start gentle and take it easy if you are not used to it. Use a chair or wall for support in the beginning. Try to find a comfortable position, move your body a little in the position, it’s usually more convenient than trying to sit totally still. Get up when you feel you have been squatting long enough. Repeat.
