Join To Start CourseFocus
Yoga to strengthen your quads and glutes. Yoga is widely known to improve muscle mobility and overall flexibility but it also helps to cultivate strength. This class brings together a variety of strengthening poses that target your quadriceps and gluteals.
The quadriceps are a group of four muscles located in the fronts of your thighs. Collectively, this muscle group has the potential to harness considerable strength. In addition to performing basic actions such as straightening the knee joint and flexing the hips, the quadriceps are fundamentally involved in moving our bodies about in space. We rely on them when performing actions of mobility such as walking, running, jumping, climbing stairs, descending stairs, squatting etc. The quadriceps are also centrally involved in a variety of yoga poses. Maintaining strong and flexible quadriceps can help your legs to support your body weight and lift your spine when practicing yoga. It can also help to stabilise and strengthen your knees, making them less prone to injury.
The gluteals are a group of three muscles located in the buttock region. Maintaining strong gluteals can help to stabilise your thigh bones and prevent knee strain in a variety of yoga poses. Weak gluteals can limit hip mobility and contribute to poor posture and lower back pain. Weekly Intermediate Class 289 will be released soon. Head to the website for more details.
