A peachy butt is often associated with squats but did you know that yoga is also a great way to build a sexy booty? Think about this! Have you seen a yogi with a pancake bum?
In today’s blog, we’ll be going through 5 simple yoga poses for a perfectly sculpted butt. Let’s get started!
If you’re like most people, you may think of yoga as a great way to stretch and relax. But did you know that it can also be a solid and challenging workout?
By focusing on certain poses, you can shape, sculpt, and define your backside with ease. What makes yoga an excellent exercise for building your booty is its focus on isometric holds that build muscle strength and endurance.
The poses used in yoga don’t just help build flexibility. By holding these positions, you put your muscles under tension and resistance which helps make them stronger. Over time, these muscles become more defined which contributes to a more toned physique.
These booty-building yoga moves are excellent for building a strong and tight derriere. But(t!) remember to pay attention to your form to maximize the benefits you get from each pose. Are you ready to build that peachy butt? Here we go!
Step 1: From a Standing Forward Bend, bend your knees and, with an inhale, step your left foot back toward the back edge of your mat, with the ball of the foot on the floor. Step back far enough so that your right knee can form a right angle.
Step 2: Lay your torso on your front thigh and lengthen it forward. To soften your right groin, imagine that the thigh is sinking toward the floor under your torso’s weight. Look forward. Simultaneously, firm the left thigh and push it up toward the ceiling, holding the left knee straight. Stretch your left heel toward the floor.
Step 3: Exhale and step your right foot back beside the left. Repeat the above instructions, but reverse left and right. Or come into Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward-Facing Dog), inhale, and step the right foot forward between your hands.
Step 1: Start in Plank Pose, pressing firmly through your hands with your shoulders aligned over your wrists. Keeping your core muscles and legs engaged, roll both your heels to the right.
Step 2: Stack your left foot on top of the right. Draw your legs together and push them out through the feet.
Step 3: Press down through the right hand and raise your left hand. Keep your lower belly engaged and your tailbone long. Look up to your hand, or ahead of you. Build up to stay in the pose for 5 breaths.
Step 4: To come out, exhale as you lower your left hand and pivot your feet back to the Plank position. Repeat on the other side.
Step 1: From the Table position, tuck the toes under, press into the hands and begin to lift the hips up towards the ceiling.
Step 2: Spread the fingers wide apart with the middle finger facing forward, and the palms shoulder-width apart. Press the out through the fingers and edges of the hands.
Step 3: Using straight (but not locked) arms, press the hips up and back reaching the chest towards the thighs. Lift up through the tailbone to keep the spine straight and long.
Step 4: Have the feet at hip’s width apart with the toes facing forward. Press the heels into the floor feeling a stretch in the back of the legs. The legs are straight, or you can have a small bend at the knees to keep the back flat.
Step 5: Let the head and neck hang freely from the shoulders or look up at the belly button. Breathe and hold for 4-8 breaths.
Step 6: To release, bend the knees and lower the hips back to Table position, or come all the way down to child pose.
Step 1: In Mountain pose with the feet together or hip-width apart, inhale the arms forward parallel to the floor with the palms facing down.
Step 2: Exhale and bend the knees, squatting down. Reach the hips down and back as if you were going to sit on the edge of a chair, bringing your weight to the heels of the feet. Do not bring the hips lower than the level of the knees. Make sure that the knees are pointing straight ahead.
Step 3: Press the shoulders down and back trying to arch the spine. Relax the shoulders down and back and reach out through the fingertips. Stare at a point on the wall or floor in front of you for balance. Breathe and hold for 3-6 breaths.
Step 4: To release, inhale and press down into the feet straightening the legs and inhale the arms up toward the ceiling. Exhale and then release the arms down.
Step 1: Lie on your belly with your arms along the sides of your torso, palms up, forehead resting on the floor. Turn your big toes toward each other to inwardly rotate your thighs, and firm your buttocks so your coccyx presses toward your pubis.
Step 2: Exhale and lift your head, upper torso, arms, and legs away from the floor. You’ll be resting on your lower ribs, belly, and front pelvis. Firm your buttocks and reach strongly through your legs, first through the heels to lengthen the back legs, then through the bases of the big toes. Keep the big toes turned toward each other.
Step 3: Raise your arms parallel to the floor and stretch back actively through your fingertips. Imagine there’s a weight pressing down on the backs of the upper arms and push up toward the ceiling against this resistance. Press your scapula firmly into your back.
Step 4:Gaze forward or slightly upward, being careful not to jut your chin forward and crunch the back of your neck. Keep the base of the skull lifted and the back of the neck long.
Step 5: Stay for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then release with an exhalation. Take a few breaths and repeat 1 or 2 times more if you like.
Shaping and toning your booty requires consistency and patience. Don’t forget to regularly do these yoga moves and eat clean, whole foods. Soon enough, you’ll have the sexy booty of your dreams.
