Yoga Poses To Tone Your Butt

Along with our core our butt is one of those areas we really like to tone up. Sitting at a desk all day as many of us do doesn’t exactly help us tone our butt but here are some yoga poses that you will definitely feel but in a good way …

Cobra

• Lie with the front of your body on the mat
• Place your forehead on the floor or on a folded blanket in front of you. Your hands are by your sides and your toes point to the back of the room.
• Bring your arms closer to your chest, inhale and raise your head, shoulders and front of the body keeping your pubic bone grounded onto the mat.

Exhale and push your palms down into the mat and raise the front of your body as high as you can comfortably go, looking straight ahead.

Locust

• Lie on your stomach with your body in a straight line and your arms relaxed by your sides, palms facing upwards.
• Place your chin on the floor and slide your hands under your body resting on the fronts of your thighs.
• Inhale and lift your legs keeping your pubic bone on the mat.
• Exhale and bring your legs together. Contract your buttock muscles and raise your legs as high as you can.
• Hold the posture and breathe normally.
• To come out of the pose on the next exhale lower your legs to the floor and relax your arms by your sides, palms facing upwards.

Chair Pose

• Starting in Tadasana (Mountain Pose) bend your knees and drop your hips bringing your weight onto your heels.
• Dropping your tailbone and keeping your front ribs in, lift your arms up shoulder width apart.
• Keeping your shoulders firm rotate your arms inward and gaze upward.

Stay here for a few breaths then straighten your knees and relax your arms back in Tadasana.
