Yoga for Runners: Pre-Run

did this after a weight lifting set of squats left me super sore.... this helped loosen up!

been using this routine for the last 3 years...amazing results

As a 58 year old Peace Corps Volunteer on the Island of Dominica my wife and I are attempting to complete all 14 segments of the Waitikibuli National Trail. It is a lengthy, arduous hiking trail through muddy rain forests and up and down mountains and valleys. This class has helped me and my wife avoid injury, increase stamina and shorten recovery time. We only have 5 segments left!!!! Thank you, Ms. McAlpine and DoYogaWithMe. It's been a lifechanger having this site available.

I am starting a running practice after several years off because of injury and with this class I am very hopeful that I can run injury free. I remember when I started running for the first time back in the 80's I thought yoga would be a perfect complement but could find no instruction, and I didn't have the knowledge to create a practice for myself. This time is different! Thank you, Fiji and David and everyone at DoYogaWithMe.

Thank for this excellent pre-run yoga. I felt the energy flowing through my body and really need the hip and IT band stretching.

Thnx Fiji for a great class! It really helps minimize hip pain in my runs.

What a difference! I don't feel tired at all, just that post work-out satisfaction.
My legs are a bit flimsy and lanky, but they felt very strong. Which is actually one of the reasons I picked up running in the first place. Can't wait to feel the difference in a month or two.

I injured my ankle a while back doing jump kicks in the gym. I worried that, now that I am getting older, that it might not recover quite as well or as quickly. I did this class this morning and I felt no pain but instead realised how tight my ankle muscles had become. While it might be some time before I run again. This class has given me so much more flexibility and strength in my ankle then before. Thank you for this wonderful class.

I am really grateful for these videos. Right now I can't afford paying for classes. I wanted to do yoga online, but didn't feel that I was doing the poses the right way. You explain everything so good. This site is amazing! Thank you all.

Hi,
I am not a runner, so did not choose this video until I followed a programme of which it was part.
I really love it as a morning class!
Thumbs up!
