Sitting in a squat position is an ability all able bodied people are born with. Its how we manage to stand up and take our first steps. It should carry through to adulthood as a comfortable resting position but somewhere along the line most of us lose this ability including myself. 

it mainly stems from an excessive amount time spent sitting on chairs or people train themselves out of it like I did with poor range of motion strength training and neglecting mobility work.

In hindsight this primarily strength focused training was very backwards thinking and I was actually training myself to be immobile. My hips were incredibly very tight up until recently, I had to work hard to gain this basic human position back.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO REGAIN THIS ABILITY:

You could try something like the 30/30 squat challenge Ido Portal popularized: Holding a resting squat for 30 minutes total time a day (broken up into smaller chunks) for 30 days.

I personally just aim for 5-10 mins in the morning or evening most days.

Quite quickly you will see great benefit in hip mobility, knee health and even improved digestion.

For most you this position will feel like you are going to fall backwards because of limited ankle mobility. If that's you drop me a message and I can give you some recommendations for this. 

Make sure you take some before pictures of your squat also!
