Wow, when you say "for runners," you really mean it! This hit all the tight spots. I'm not going to lie, I was a little miserable at points during the video because running has left me so stiff in the hips, IT band, calves and quads. I need to do this video often!

Is there any way to include adjustments for those of us with IT band issues but who can't kneel? Even with a blanket or block, it's too hard for my knees.

Thanks though, I did what I could! Felt great :)

I apologize for the delayed response... it depends on which poses you are having trouble with. Some people find relief by putting a couple of blocks under their hips when kneeling. If not, and the same pose can be done cross-legged, that's an option too.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
