YOGA FOR RUNNERS

This hatha yoga sequence has been specially designed for runners, hikers, and anyone looking to recover after a long, strenuous workout.

The selected asanas stretch the areas of the body most engaged during muscular effort, such as the calves, hamstrings, and quadriceps.

The session complements these stretches with variations of postures that open up areas of the body that are often neglected or tend to tighten during running or hiking. This is why we’ve combined postures that stretch the lower body with shoulder openers and back stretches.

Between each posture, guide your students into Downward-Facing Dog to strengthen the arm muscles, which are typically underused during running or hiking.

The chosen variation of Savasana is designed to lighten the legs and allow them to fully rest.
