Do you over grip your butt muscles with all of your might in yoga poses or is there a “lazy ass” you may not be aware of? Each gluteal group consists of 3 muscles: Gluteus Maximus, Gluteus Medius and Gluteus Minimus. Hence, we have six butts! How the rump works in yoga poses can affect change in the hip socket, where the sacrum sits, how the legs work and how you experience the pose.
This workshop will give you a deeper understanding of the anatomy used in standing poses and hip opening poses. As a result, you will experience familiar poses in an unfamiliar way.
This workshop was so well received at the Yoga Journal conference that they wrote an article inspired by it in the March 2015 issue. Leslie developed it as an extension of her work with the pelvic floor after noticing how many yogis/yoginis were not using their buttocks muscles properly.
A recording will be made available for 10 days.
This workshop qualifies for Yoga Alliance CEUs.
Leslie Howard is an Oakland-based yoga teacher, specializing in all things pelvic. She leads workshops and trainings worldwide and has written a book about the female pelvis, Pelvic Liberation. She is a regular presenter for the Yoga Journal conferences and a regular contributor to Yoga Journal magazine. Her own struggles with healing her hips and pelvis led her to intense study of the anatomy, physiology, cultural messaging, history and energetics of this rich place. Her teaching is informed by over 3500 hours of yoga study with senior Iyengar yoga teachers, notably Ramanand Patel and Peter Thompson. She has designed two very successful studies for University of California, San Francisco on yoga to alleviate incontinence and pelvic pain. To learn more about Leslie, visit:www.lesliehowardyoga.com
