Yoga teacher Jenni Rawlings and Exercise Science professor Travis Pollen discuss the glutes and the many beliefs and claims about this area of the body we tend to hear in the yoga, fitness, and therapeutic worlds.

Points of discussion include:

  • A brief overview of the functional anatomy of the glutes
  • Should we relax or contract our glutes in backbends in yoga?
  • The difference between internal and external movement cues
  • Is glute strengthening important for preventing and treating pain?
  • What’s the connection between anterior pelvic tilt and back/hip pain?
  • Is gluteal amnesia a widespread issue we should be aware of?
  • The difference between muscle activation and muscle strength
  • …And much more!

Enjoy this engaging and eye-opening discussion for yoga, movement, and fitness geeks!
