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.

I had to stop running over the winter because I had persistent pain in my Achilles area. I stretched my calves as often as I could, but it never seemed to help. In January, I tried again, but the pain came back. Last week, I decided to try again, and do this class post-run. I've been running three times in the past week and done this class afterwards, and I have no more pain! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this it's the perfect way to finish a run!! Love the dynamic stretches and the final few words about carrying the feelings of wellness with you throughout the day!!
Thank you Fiji! I am adding running back into my routine and this class is so perfect.
Great post-run yoga session - some of the poses are a bit dynamic for me but that's what practice is all about ;)
