I've used this after a run twice now, and I have to say: this is the most useful tool I've ever, EVER come across!! I don't know what it is about you, David, but your gentle delivery/voice makes an otherwise unbearable hip stretch so pleasant. I have an extremely tight left side, all the way through my toes to my shoulder and everything in between... but my hip, ohhh my hip!! I had a right ankle injury half a year ago and ever since then, my left hip always seems to be working OT, but this really helps balance me out. Thank you so much!

Unbelievable stretching for I.T band, hamstrings and glutes. Muscle soreness in I.T band completely gone after doing that. I wish I had known about you when I was an international long jumper as would have hired you as private stretch & yogi therapist. You've accomplished what many sports physios could only dream about...

Is this routine geared more for recovery? I plan to do this right when I wake up and go running for a mile which I commonly do but never stretch for :p. Will this be a good routine for stretching before running? Thanks!

Yes, this class is good both for recovery and to prepare for a run. If you do it before you run, you may want to warm up your body a bit first, with some jumping jacks or running on the spot. Then pay attention to how your body feels during the run.
Cheers,
David
