Ultimately, the "Squatting Monkey" that Jon describes does just that. If you want to look at it from the traditional sense, the idea is to "breathe the qi in through the perineum (Bai Hui), up through the tailbone to the MingMen (L3) and then drops down into the dantien".

Hope that helps. Check with your local resident experts.
