so for me it feels true for me to cross my legs in this chair i'm opening up my adductors open up my hip flexors you know open up you know getting some some hyaluronic fluid and all i'm like i'm like squeezing out all the old and bringing in the new into my joints here i'm mobilizing myself so i'm like cool that feels true weird there's not going to be really anybody else like a boardworm that's like crossing their legs you know but it feels true to me you know so i think that's the big thing is not trying to prove any points you know just listening into what genuinely feels true to you and following that and it what feels true to you or me or you know anybody today might not be what feels true to us tomorrow or in 10 days so having that flexibility of like cool i tried on that align method cross my legs up you know get some floor cushions spend some time in the ground you know basic stuff and now i'm not into it it's like cool move on but but actively engage and pay attention like you are your own scientific study you know so every day just i think just running the experiments really important i love it and i i really think that your perspective on movement is an ancestral perspective i don't know 100 yeah i mean do you you you brought up the hodzo so i would imagine you frame it in a similar way like absolutely and that's what i like about your work and your book and a lot of these concepts you're talking about are things that we would have been doing as humans that again we've lost i'm super excited about this idea of the remembering primarily with food but also with movement and sunlight all these things but i see these concepts as very ancestral very evolutionarily consistent i think about a species appropriate diet i think there's probably species-appropriate positions for humans to be in 100 and we talked about the haza so let's talk about a deep squat because i remember we talked about this in the first podcast as well but you your like scientific analysis of a deep squat was awesome you like broke down on a deep squat like i've never had anybody break down deep squat so there's hard to definitely spend a lot of time deep squat i've got a four-year-old niece and a two-year-old nephew they deep squat all the freaking time people know this who have kids so what do you think about deep squatting i'm i saw a picture of you with your brother on mount whitney and you guys are both deep squatting in the snow i know you like this but that wasn't my brother that was a mar from yes theory oh okay for some reason that was your brother i reread the caption that's great no i say he's like my brother like nice brother got it yeah really it was really good time about when yeah this i mean this this squat it does a lot of things one we have these inherent i mean it sounds a little out there but i would call them like like healing mechanisms they're like inherent with what since we were prokaryotes and eukaryotes and you know we were fish and then we were you know land mammals and then we were up in trees depending upon your belief system but when you're in that say that arboreal
