Try to do the challenge (mentioned in the article) and go down as far as you comfortably can. You're probably lacking range in the hips or the ankles and this will fix itself with time. Basically because you weren't in this position for a long time, your body doesn't "allow" you this position, because it thinks you might hurt yourself while doing it. But once you get used to the position, you'll ease into it with time.
