![]() As a runner, yoga has really helped me to gain flexibility, decrease recovery time, and become more aware of my body and breath. This past weekend a friend and fellow yoga teacher and I taught a yoga for runners workshop. After an easy three mile loop we settled in for a practice designed to warm up the body and then move into deeper stretches specifically targeted to runners. Here is a worksheet with some of the poses we did: I like to hold each pose for at least a minute or two on each side. Once I get to the deeper hip opening poses at the end of the worksheet (pigeon, frog etc.) I try to hold each side for 3-5 minutes to really get into the connective tissue.
I try to do a full practice using these poses once a week and then shorter, 10-15 minute practices after my runs. Happy Running!!!
