2Pike2Squat question

I tried the series yesterday and I liked it very much. I have a question though.

On the 2Pike2Squat stretch, I cannot go into a flat footed squat with feet together. My heels will come off the ground.

 

Should I rather

a) bend the knees all the way, but lift the heel off the ground

b) keep the heel on the ground and only bend the knee as far as possible without lifting it?

Coach Sommer

Bend the knees all the way while keeping the heels as low as possible.  Your achilles flexibility will continue to improve over time.

Awesssss

Perhaps you could put something under your foot to fully squat deep without raising your heels.
