The
yoga squat is considered a yoga pose, but does not appear frequently in yoga books for some reason. Yogajournal.com does not show it on their poses page. Perhaps the greatest proponent of the yoga squat in practice and daily life is uber-yogi/cross-trainer, Steve Ilg.
Mr. Ilg uses the yoga squat whenever he "stands" in line, and most other times.
The pose has several benefits including aiding digesting, but in terms of stretching, it is great for the groin area.
In Bob Anderson's groundbreaking book Stretching, he describes the pose.
It is a great pose to do during the day. It seems to help with overall "alignment" of the body.
