Yoga for Hikers | Backpacker

Already have an account? Photo: swissmediavision / Getty Images Hiking has a host of known physical and mental benefits, but still, after a long trail day, your muscles might feel sore. Fix that in camp or back home with this gentle yoga sequence designed to release hardened and achy muscles. Focus on your breathing as outlined in the exercises below to slow down your heart rate. Stay in each pose for a few minutes to allow your muscles to release deeper into the pose and relax. The poses may seem deceptively simple, but holding them allows your body to let go and sink in, getting a good stretch.

10 Yoga Poses to Prevent Dead Butt Syndrome

The glutes are the largest muscles in our body. Underusing these important tissues can ultimately lead to knee and back pain. And when we sit for long periods of time, they can basically “forget” to fire and support the pelvis a condition known as gluteus medius tendinopathy, gluteal amnesia, or dead butt syndrome (DBS). That’s right: Dead butt syndrome is real! And although it mostly affects the sedentary, active people may also experience DBS if they sit for hours at a time. Our glutes are responsible for acceleration and balance when we move. They’re also key for supporting our back, our sacrum, our core, the healthy functioning of our lower joints, and even for stimulating the pelvic floor. Lack of effective glute engagement may tilt the pelvis and cause strain on the low back or knees even in some of our favorite yoga poses.
