Debunking Yoga Myth: ‘Don’t Squeeze The Glutes

Debunking Yoga Myth: ‘Don’t Squeeze The Glutes In Backbends’

I feel certain this cue is not given anymore – Its pretty old skool! Though I do remember this instruction when I first started Yoga over 16 Years ago. Things have changed since then!

When you go into a backbend the movement is initiated from your Pelvis moving backwards at the hip sockets, and the muscles responsible for this action are the muscles on the back side i.e the Glute muscles (specifically the Gluteus Maximum & Minimus) which are know as the hip extensors. When they are engaged they are also helping to lift and stabilise the pelvis in a backbend so you don’t decompress into the lower spine.

So in short for the backbend to happen your glutes have to definitely activate, engage, have tone and be strong– just maybe not squeezing them for dear life!

Other muscles will be working at the same time i.e Hamstrings and also depending on what he backbend is – something like Cobra the pelvis is in contact with ground so donlt require as much glute strength as a pose such as Bridge.

Join me from 10th December for Yoga Booster Masterclass where we will do a full session delving into understanding backbends, looking at different types, technique for them, how to prep for & develop them skilfully & safely for your body. Head to bio to read full detail & register 😊Heather x

Debunking Yoga Myth “You must always keep your h

Debunking Yoga Myth “You must always keep your hips square when you twist”

Twisting poses rotate the spine, compress your internal organs and stretch your back muscles, leaving you feeling spacious with a sense of release. For a deep experience of a ‘twist’ you often hear the cue “keep your hips stable and twist from the belly button upwards” and whilst this is not wrong, there is a more comfortable way of coming into rotations of the spine which feel a little more harmonious.

We will be learning so much more about the different groups of asana in our Yoga Booster Masterclass Series-Starting Thursday 10th Dec at @heatheryogauk online!

We are always looking for an experience of evenness in yoga and this also includes a cohesive relationship between the different regions of the body, including the hips, spine and head. The spine connects to the pelvis at the sacroiliac joint.

If the spine is rotating, then in order to distribute sensation and stress, and to uncover this experience of evenness, then the pelvis can turn a little into the direction of the twist- to take any feelings of strain out of the lower back and even allow you the space to breathe more freely.

There is an early bird offer for Yoga Booster ending this Friday 27th November! Make sure to not miss out on this fab offering!
