I'm guessing that it is a good measure of strength in your legs to be able to slowly sit all the way down and back up. A Doc once told me that your legs are your 2nd heart, in that as your arteries become less elastic and unable to expand and then contract fully as the heart beats, then the heart has to work so much harder to get the blood to those extremities.
Squats and such exercises as "intense pose" in yoga are excellent for strengthening the legs. However, I can't even sit properly in a cross-leg position, let alone get off my butt as shown the demo video.
