Yoga for Runners

Posted by Melanie at 08:35 0 comments

This sequence of yoga poses helps loosen the muscles you use when running, hip flexors, quads, hamstrings, glutes, and calves. It is great to do post run or on rest days. I do it slowly, focusing on feeling the stretch before moving on to the next pose. The aim is not to overstretch.

Ever since I was diagnosed with a rotated pelvis I've been on the lookout for ways to help keep it in place, improve my core strength and general overall body strength.

My first experience with yoga was a class I took four years ago at the Y. I discovered I was not as flexible as I used to be and lying on the floor contorting my body into unlikely positions was boring and made me feel inadequate. I doubt I will take another yoga class. At least, with this video to help me at home there is no one else to see how terribly inflexible I am.
