After following along with the Yoga Guide to Warrior, you might experience a sensation of soreness in specific areas of your butt and hips. Let’s look at some of the muscles causing the “after glow” of Warrior Pose.
While muscles like the Gluteus Maximus are heavily involved in movement and weight bearing, there are also many smaller muscles that act with precision to stabilize, rotate and align the hip.
As you practice, these muscles become toned and more functional providing a sense of stability and resilience within dynamic movements. This training becomes paramount to reducing risk of injury and enhancing proprioceptive awareness.
