In this 60-minute Hatha/Flow class we focus on strengthening the Glutes and Outer Hips.

Strong glutes and hips are foundational to both daily movement and yoga practice. Here's why they matter:

• Stability & Balance: Strong hips and glutes provide a stable base for standing poses and help maintain better balance in one-legged poses like Tree or Warrior III.
• Back Health: The glutes work with your core to support proper spine alignment. Strong glutes can help reduce lower back pain and prevent injury by taking pressure off your spine.
• Daily Movement: These muscles are crucial for walking, climbing stairs, and getting up from seated positions. Strong hips help maintain mobility as we age.
• Athletic Performance: The glutes are your body's power center - they help generate force for jumping, running, and dynamic movements in your practice.
• Posture: Well-conditioned hip muscles help maintain proper pelvic alignment, which is key for good posture both on and off the mat.
