Course Overview

Description

This seven-part course is designed to both strengthen and mobilise your gluteal muscles, providing a comprehensive approach to improving overall body functionality. The gluteals, comprising the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus, are located in the buttock region. These muscles play a crucial role in bringing strength, stability, and mobility to the entire body. The gluteus maximus is the largest of the three and is primarily responsible for the movement of the hip and thigh, contributing significantly to activities like climbing stairs, running, and maintaining an upright posture. The gluteus medius and minimus, located deeper and more laterally, are essential for stabilising the pelvis and supporting hip abduction and internal rotation.

Many individuals experience tightness in their gluteal muscles, which can lead to various problems, including hip pain, lower back discomfort, and issues with posture. Tight gluteals can also present challenges when practicing certain yoga poses, particularly those that require significant flexibility and range of motion in the hip area. Conversely, weak gluteal muscles can result in instability and poor alignment, affecting the body’s overall balance and increasing the risk of injuries. Yoga offers a therapeutic solution to these issues by promoting both strength and flexibility in the gluteal region. Through a series of targeted poses, this course aims to unlock stiffness in the glutes, alleviate pain associated with conditions like hip bursitis, and enhance the accessibility of forward-bending asanas.

Who is this course for?

  • Individuals experiencing hip pain or conditions like hip bursitis seeking therapeutic relief.
  • People with tight gluteal muscles aiming to improve flexibility and mobility.
  • Yoga practitioners looking to enhance their strength and stability for better alignment in poses.
  • Anyone wanting to make progress in forward-bending asanas by unlocking stiffness in the gluteals.

How will this course help?

  • Alleviates hip pain and discomfort by improving gluteal flexibility and mobility.
  • Strengthens the gluteal muscles, enhancing overall stability and support for the lower back and hips.
  • Increases accessibility to forward-bending asanas, making your yoga practice more fluid and effective.
  • Provides targeted exercises to address and prevent issues related to tight or weak gluteal muscles.

What do I get from this course?

  • Comprehensive guidance on strengthening and mobilising your gluteal muscles through targeted yoga poses.
  • Improved flexibility and reduced stiffness in the gluteal region, leading to enhanced overall body mobility.
  • Techniques to alleviate hip pain and discomfort, particularly for conditions like hip bursitis.
  • Greater ease and proficiency in performing forward-bending asanas and other yoga poses, contributing to a more balanced and effective practice.
