Doing yoga before running is one of the best ways to stay injury free, get stronger and make your run more enjoyable. Fiji takes you through an efficient, rigorous sequence of poses that prepare your body for a run by loosening key muscles that are often tight and strengthening those that encourage balance.

I went into this video just wanting to warm up and prepare for a regular run. By the end of the video in Tadasana, I felt rejuvenated, relaxed, and in a much better mood than when I started. Whatever your intentions were for this video, Fiji, this was a beautiful session that I didn't know I was in much need of. It's moments like these that continue my new burning passion of yoga. Thank you.
Namaste,
Emily

Thank you DYWM for all the "Yoga for runners" videos, they are amazing!
I have a question, though : Do you have a video that targets more particularly the tibialis anterior, peroneal and calf muscles? Mine are always awfully hard/tight and can't seem to relax, running only making it worse (even though I try to stretch religiously).
So I thought maybe you guys would have an answer? :-)
(Since David's video fixed my IT band issue, I turn to DYWM for every sport-induced nagging pain... With much success, I must say!)
Thank you for the great website, and all the best from China!

My favorite pre run stretch! Can feel a big improvement in my muscles while and after the run!
