gluteal muscles

first class w/Esther; it makes sense! I watched the DVD, stretchsitting and glidewalking... it seems that I have a problem with engaging the gluteus muscle, particularly on the left side (where my pain is)... and with the coordination of squeezing/tightening the muscles with the steps...

i've started the stretchsitting since I've got the book, last Saturday... am I fooling myself, or truly my back pain is subsiding... looking at the pictures Esther took today, I wonder if my hunch/hump will ever diminish...
