YOGA FOR RUNNERS

Friday, Feb 26
7:00-8:30PM

Participation in sport often creates tight and imbalanced muscles which can lead to injury; based on Power Yoga, Yoga for Runners is designed to enhance endurance, strength and flexibility.

In this workshop we will:

  • discuss which postures help prevent common running injuries such as IT Band syndrome, hamstring pulls, knee injuries, and common hip and core imbalances
  • discuss which postures are appropriate for pre- and post- run, and how to modify any posture for overly tight muscles
  • do a 45 minute yoga class combining yoga postures and breath exercises – the aerobic flow of the practice increases lung capacity and builds internal and external heat maximizing strength, concentration and flexibility, helping to lengthen and re-balance tight muscles to prevent injury.
