Practicing a few yoga poses after a run, when your muscles are warm and soft, will make you feel a whole lot better the next day. Post-run yoga will decrease injuries and improve the health and strength of muscles. Also, tense muscles have trouble receiving enough blood. Stretching improves the muscles' access to healthy blood and oxygen.

I feel amazing after this routine. It was gentle and allowed my body to open up and relax after a long run.

So Nice!

I feel so good today after doing this class last night. I'm not a serious runner, but go for a good jog a few times a week. It makes so much sense how this class benefits a runner after the fact.
Thanks!
