Video Class Strength_10: Strong Glutes & Stable Shoulders (52 mins)

Description

Strength for Yoga Video:
Strong Glutes & Stable Shoulders

Feeling well supported through your hips and shoulders can give you greater confidence to explore movement without relying on effort alone. This class helps you develop strong, responsive glutes alongside greater shoulder stability, creating a more balanced sense of strength, control and capability throughout your body.

.

Develop responsive hip strength and dependable shoulder support in this focused strength practice.

This class centres on building capacity in the glutes and hip stabilisers with the added benefit of  refining upper-body control. Through steady, well-paced loading and carefully layered sequences, you’ll strengthen the muscles that underpin balance, standing work and confident weight transfer – helping you move with greater ease and assurance, from balancing in yoga to carrying groceries, navigating uneven ground or chasing the dog across the garden.

We begin upright, establishing alignment and awareness before introducing resistance band work for the shoulders. The practice then moves to the mat for concentrated side-lying glute sequences designed to build endurance, control and clarity of action around the pelvis. The session closes with considered stretching to release and integrate the work.

Quietly demanding and highly specific, this is a session that rewards attention to detail.

Best suited for those with some prior strength experience, this class invites you to increase repetition, refine control and – if you choose – add load. It’s particularly supportive for maintaining muscle mass and promoting bone density, offering a clear and measurable way to build strength over time.

It works beautifully as a foundation builder – the kind of targeted practice you can return to regularly, which allows you to track your progress, and recognise, with quiet satisfaction, that you’re becoming tangibly stronger and more confident in all the things you love.
