Get a yoga strap

Diffuse lavender oil

Daily routine to detoxify
Before you bathe, use our Wai Lana Detoxify Skin Brush to gently exfoliate your whole body— placing extra focus on your buttocks— to increase circulation and remove impurities. After bathing, apply our Detoxify Massage Oil to your body using long strokes and kneading movements.

These strengthening poses do more than just shape your buttocks, they also strengthen your hips, giving you greater overall stability and stamina.
