Episode Synopsis

As yoga teachers, we're always looking for ways to help our students get the most out of their practice. But sometimes, it can be tough to know which cues to give....or more often, how accurate are the cues that we are used to giving?! In today's episode, I welcome back my dear co-host and anatomy geek, Inga, to discuss another common cue "relax the glutes (during backbends)".Should you really relax your glutes in a backend? Should you squeeze your bum? Should you contract your glutes? What does this even mean, and where could it have possibly originated from?Tune in to find out. And as always- don't forget to let us know what you thought about our insights on this cue/episode.
