"de cuclillas"?

What does "de cuclillas" mean in the passage below. I can't seem to find a good translation for it.


"Cogí aire para replicarle, pero teniendo las palabras en mis labios, volví a derrumbarme. El cansancio y la tensión de los últimos días había aflorado en ese momento y no había forma de detener aquel torrente de emociones. Andreu, al ver mis piernas flaquear, se acercó a mí y me agarró por los brazos, pero no pudo evitar que cayera de cuclillas en el suelo, arrastrándolo a él conmigo y quedándonos los dos sentados en el jardín."

Squatting (basically sitting or crouching on one's heels) is the term you're looking for. The person fell into a squat (a squatting position) on the floor.
