From Kaliasana to Anjaneyasana, here are five asanas suggested by the expert for healthy glutes.

Yoga is an important workout routine that should be included in the daily life. Multiple health experts keep emphasising on the need of having a yoga routine on a daily basis. Yoga helps in targeting the muscles and the joints. It helps in improving posture, balance and the coordination of the body. Besides helping in the working of the muscles, yoga also helps in keeping the risk of chronic illnesses at bay. Yoga creates better body awareness and boosts better sleep. With the body, yoga also helps in keeping the mind calm. Glutes are one of the most important muscles of the body and need regular workout for better coordination. Glutes help in enhancing pelvic alignment and supporting the lower back muscles. Addressing the importance of glutes in the body, yoga trainer Anshuka Parwani wrote, “Strong glutes are very important for maintaining an upright body position and pushing it forward during walking, running, etc.”
