Prolonged sitting and repetitive
movement patterns can contribute to what is often termed Dead Butt
Syndrome—a condition characterized by gluteal inhibition, altered
biomechanics, and increased strain on surrounding joints and
tissues.
In less technical terms: your glutes have been on an extended
vacation… and other muscles have been picking up the slack
(poorly).
This 3-part instructional series (2 hours per session) is designed
to address these issues through a structured, evidence-informed
approach focused on restoring proper neuromuscular function—and
getting your glutes to finally do their job again.
What the series will cover:
• Why your glutes “turned off” (and why your lower back is annoyed
about it)
• How to identify sneaky compensations in the hips and pelvis
• Targeted activation strategies so you can actually feel your
glutes working
• Progressive strength and mobility work to make the changes
stick
Program details:
• 3 sessions, 2 hours each
• Small group format (so no hiding in the back pretending you feel
it)
• Practical, hands-on instruction
Who this is for:
• Desk workers and professional sitters
• People with recurring hip, knee, or lower back discomfort
• Anyone tired of doing squats and feeling literally everything
except their glutes
Space is limited to ensure a high level of instruction (and to keep
things from turning into a glute support group).
Your glutes may be quiet—but they haven’t given up on you yet.

This series is ideal for adults with their babies ages six weeks to pre-crawling. Mom + baby bonding yoga class will help support you through the early months of caring for a new baby in community with other new moms. This bonding class for moms + babies, and moms with other moms focuses on strengthening the spiritual, emotional, and physical bond between postpartum moms and their new baby. All postures for mom will be responsive to the needs of the postpartum body. Class also includes comforting infant massage and various exercises that assist the development of your child’s motor skills.
Rest assured - you will be able to attend to all of your babies (and your own needs) during class. Baby may need to eat, may be fussy, may have a diaper blowout. It's all good - we're here for you and we'll make it all work.
NOTE: All registrants for this series will receive one courtesy class to be used for any yoga class on our regular schedule. We get that life is unpredictable with an infant and that you may need to miss one class in the series. Hopefully this gives moms the flexibility to make it up with a class on our regular schedule.
