Yoga for CORE and GLUTES activation.

14th December 2024

Are you interested in building glute strength? Want a firm "yoga" butt? Or maybe you’re interested in preventing knee pain/injury, lower-back pain, or improving your physical performance?

Whatever the reason, understanding the importance of your glutes, along with the right exercises for building glute strength, are sure to help you. I’m going to walk you through all of that and much more on this glute-strengthening

How Are Your Glutes, Core, and Spine Related?

Your glutes and core work synergistically to support your spine.

Your glutes are the largest muscles of your hips, and these connect to your lower-back.

Your core (abdominal muscles) is the antagonist muscle group to your lumbar paraspinals (erector spinae), which are the muscles located on either side of your lower spine.

If you don’t have adequate core strength or glute strength, it’s a double whammy for your lower-back.

 It means that when you do an exercise that’s supposed to use your hips, core, and lower-back (any movement involving a squat or hinge movement – such as a squat, deadlift, or chair pose), then the lower-back will be forced to do all of the work. This often results in preventable lower-back pain or injuries.

Bottom line: Protect your spine – strengthen your glutes and core and LEARN HOW TO work your body muscles properly by joining in my workshop

What to Expect:

  • Hard work and fun
  • Better understanding of your asana practice (poses) and be able to do more advanced  asanas
  • Better pelvic floor health
  • Better shape of your beautiful body
  • To be and feel stronger and more confident

The approach:

We will be targeting middle section of our body, pelvic floor and glutes. We will learn to understand deep foundations how to engage our core and how to apply this in yoga asana - by performing poses in a safe and most effective way.

Hips and lower back: mobility & flexibility Yoga workshop

July 13th 2024

Have you ever asked yourself ‘why does my hip pop?’ It is a common symptom of tight hip flexors.

ps.: the popping or clicking should not be painful ( otherwise you should seek medical attention)

Did you know that.. The hip flexors are a group of muscles responsible for flexing the hip, or bringing the leg upward toward the body. The primary hip flexors is combo of two muscles: iliacus ans psoas that often called iliopsoas.

The psoas originates from the lower six vertebrae of your spine.

The iliacus originates from the inside bowl of your pelvis. They meet and insert on the top of the femur, or upper leg bone

What are the symptoms of tight hip flexors?
  • Pain when lying down.
  • Limited movement.
  • Inability to extend your leg behind you.
  • Pain when sitting or rising from a seated position.
  • A pinching or snapping sensation in the hip during movement.
  • Hip pain when you walk.

What are the symptoms of pelvic imbalances? 

There are various symptoms you might experience, such as

  • General low backache
  • Pain in the hip and buttocks area that increases during or after walking
  • Pain in the hip and low back after standing in place for long periods
  • Unbalanced walking
  • Achy feeling in the lower back or hip while laying down

It’s essential to address these discomforts rather than brush them off; otherwise, it could lead to more severe symptoms such as;

  • Pain that goes down into the thigh towards the knee or foot
  • Pain in and around the groin
  • Inability to stand in one place (you find yourself shifting from foot to soot
  • Difficulty walking

How to align your pelvis with yoga?

To manage pelvic misalignment with yoga, you need to work with three key muscle groups: quadratus lumborum (the hip hiker), the abductors (outside of the thigh), and the quads (front of the thigh) and learn how to stretch them correctly. 

Yoga and yoga therapy techniques can help address pelvic imbalances and lower back pain. Various studies show that yoga helps alleviate pain, regulate your nervous system by reducing tension, and improve movement and quality of life
