Yoga for Runners: Post-Run
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.

Great stretches for after the run! got some new moves now, would highly recommend
I recently injured my hip-flexor muscles, so having a set routine to stretch everything out after my run is essential. This routine felt great, both as a stretch but also strengthening those weakness created by the injuries. This is definitely in my regular rotation!
Very calming and gentle practice with a nice pace. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because I felt like there needed to be a few easier options outlined. Some of the starting poses were impossible for me (very tight hamstrings) so when more advanced options were given without easier options being given, I did feel a bit silly. I basically had to take bent legs for a lot of this practice. The instructor was lovely though and the result felt good.
Dear Fiji and Do Yoga with me crew,
I really appreciate this post-run yoga class and how it makes you end your practise (run) in a very balanced and calm way. However, the music change at 07.57 is quite stressful. First, I thought that I had something else playing in the background, but then I realized that it is actually the background music of the class playing a rythm and style that makes it hard to concentrate on the voice.
It is perhaps the style of music or maybe even the volume that mismatch with the ambiance from the rest of the class? Any how, the result is that the background music from time 07.57 and on, interferes with the instruction and the voice.
I don't know if you can change this music into something more discrete that is not disturbing the voice? If so, I would be very thankful.
Thank you for fantastic classes.
