Welcome to Yoga and Pilates Woking GU21

If you’re managing persistent lower back niggly bits or just feeling a bit stiff after sitting all day, the solution might surprise you: it’s time to wake up your glutes! When our main hip stabilizers go to sleep, the lower back forces itself to do double the work. In our local Woking Pilates and yoga classes, we focus deeply on functional anatomy. Here is a exercise to feel the difference – Dumbell deadlift.  Grab two dumbells, hinge at the hips and lower them half way down your shins, then squeeze glutes into full extension until you are standing. Repeat 8-12 times each time focusing on breathing out when you straighten.  This is my go-to exercise.  Tip:  never grip the weights too tight.
