Should you grip your glutes in backbends? No, probably not. Should you engage your glutes in backbends? Yes, definitely. Understanding the key role that the glutes play in backbends--especially bridge pose, upward-facing bow pose, and camel pose--is essential. This practice will teach you how to use your glutes and adductors to create stability, support, and integrity in all of your backbends. This understanding is key to healthy, happy backbends.
