5 yoga poses to strengthen your glutes

Chair Pose (Utkatasana): Stand with your feet together, bend your knees, and lower your hips as if sitting in a chair. Keep your back straight and arms extended overhead. This pose engages the glutes while also working the thighs and core.

Warrior III (Virabhadrasana III): From a standing position, hinge at your hips and lift one leg straight back while extending your arms forward, creating a T-shape with your body. This pose strengthens the glutes, hamstrings, and lower back.

Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana): Lie on your back with knees bent and feet hip-width apart. Lift your hips toward the ceiling, squeezing your glutes at the top. This pose targets the glutes and lower back muscles.

Locust Pose (Salabhasana): Lie face down with arms by your sides. Lift your head, chest, arms, and legs off the ground simultaneously, squeezing your glutes. This pose strengthens the entire posterior chain, including the glutes.

Crescent Lunge (Anjaneyasana): Step one foot forward into a lunge position with the back leg extended and the front knee bent at 90 degrees. Raise your arms overhead and sink deeper into the lunge to engage the glutes. This pose also stretches the hip flexors and strengthens the thighs.
