About this class

The name says it all… your booty is about to catch on fire (and it’s already damn fine!)… these movements are going to strengthen your glutes and quads. This will improve your posture and decrease lower back pain! Plus it’s super fun… get ready to LOVE the burn!

Alignment notes

Use a folded blanket under your knees/hip for comfort factor during All 4’s Set up your All 4’s right with your hands underneath the shoulders and knees directly underneath the hips. Keep the belly pulling in and up and try to minimize movement in the lower back. The focus is keeping stable, so really press the standing shin into the Earth and draw the shoulders away from the ears. There’s always the option to come to your elbows if your wrists are sore in All 4’s. When moving into the side work during All 4’s, focus on pressing the grounded forearm and shin into the Earth. Focus on keeping your movements controlled, rather than height.
