YOGA FOR RUNNERS

This yin yoga sequence has been specially designed for runners, hikers, and anyone looking to explore a full-body approach to yin yoga. By holding poses for 3 to 5 minutes, this deep practice targets areas that are often overworked, such as the hips, legs, lower back, and shoulders. These postures aim to release accumulated tension and promote recovery while strengthening the connective tissues.

Yin yoga is known for its gentle release of deep tissues, providing a unique opportunity to soften and revitalize the entire body. For runners and hikers, this sequence is a true ally in balancing the intensity of physical exertion with a moment of restorative pause.

This practice can sometimes bring discomfort due to the extended time in each posture, but it also offers your students a chance to cultivate patience and explore their responses to these sensations. You will guide them through a deep reflection, helping them connect to their inner strength and resilience. Each pose becomes an invitation to recentre, let go, and reconnect with themselves.

Encourage your students to observe the sensations that arise, to recognize their inner resources, and to understand that these strengths accompany them through every challenge, whether physical or emotional. This sequence is not only a space for physical recovery but also a valuable time to strengthen their grounding in the face of life's storms.
