It's all about your BUTT
By Jesse Schein on Oct 31, 2018
45 minutes of Standing Poses only focused on the GLUTES. My style is to MOVE you a lot and offer challenges. I teach the details of alignment! You will learn to do the poses safely and know if you're doing them correctly for YOUR body. Ground your SELF, find those muscles to Stabilize and then you will be FREE To OPEN. (Added bonus: great for those of you with wrist, elbow or shoulder issues that prevent weight-bearing on your arms!)
