To me, yoga and running are a perfect complement to one another. Running builds endurance, while yoga creates strength and flexibility. Both require attention and focus on breathing. Surely, I thought, a class must exist that combines these two things. To my surprise, nothing I could find fit the bill. This is how Yogi Runners was born.
Yogi Runners begins with a run (in a small group, or individual), followed by a yoga sequence designed specifically for the needs of runners and triathletes. This class incorporates Vinyasa, Bikram, and Yin postures to create full body strengthening, and a deep stretch of the muscles most commonly overworked in running. This program is great for all levels, it teaches yogi’s who maybe don’t like to run how empowering it can be, and teaches runners the value in sustained stretches, and how helpful joint/muscle decompression can be. You can look for these seasonal group run clubs at yoga studios around the city, or I am happy to create an individual, custom run/yoga program just for you.
