We have certainly found that combining regular yoga and running has helped us stay fit and healthy and perhaps most importantly injury free over the years. As yoga teachers, our online yoga classes have been created with runners in mind.
No experience necessary, our package for runners has been tailored to meet your needs and offers yoga for beginners. For those wanting to supplement training with yoga stretching, our classes are ‘open’ so are appropriate for beginners and more experienced yogis alike.
Providing an online yoga course allows you to fit in your stretches around your training – whether you are a competitive club runner, looking to complete a challenge or to keep active and fit as well as injury free. Hopefully our programme will help you integrate a yoga routine into your weekly training schedule.
Yoga Stretches
Time is precious and training for your next race or event can be time consuming. Our online yoga course for runners offers 25 yoga videos (over 10 class hours) online.
The classes focus on stretches for runners within core muscle groups; building a stronger core, ankles and feet whilst also bringing greater strength and flexibility to the glutes, releasing tight hip flexors, quads, calves and hamstrings. With improved range of motion, the releasing of tight muscles, we hope you will benefit from running more easily and injury free – with sports such as running it is not uncommon to pick up overuse injuries due to the repetitive nature of the activity.
Runners participating in longer distance events, from 5-10km to half, full and ultra marathons can all benefit from a selection of the best yoga videos. For example, trail runners would benefit from a focus on balance and core strength to help proprioception as they run over uneven ground.
