Many runners struggle with a limited range of motion, shortened muscles, weakened muscles due to overuse or injury and a less than efficient mental focus and breathing technique. These limitations on their own or combined can cause muscle imbalances, lead to injury, a higher rate of physical / systemic exhaustion and hence, a longer recovery time. Quite simply making your run not as enjoyable or efficient.

 

My drop-in pay as you go Yoga for Runners class introduces runners to the basics of yoga and how it relates to the mechanics of running. This Yoga for Runners will be lead by Carolynn Younghusband a runner for 29 years, a Registered Massage Therapist and Registered Yoga Teacher.  It takes a runner’s approach to address your runner's needs.
