Yoga for Runners Course

Yoga for Runners

6 Week Course

Although our races have been cancelled, our gyms have shut and our beloved parks have closed their gates, our love for running carries on. As runners, we all know the benefit of yoga, strengthening and foam-rolling. It’s not why we run, but these are the things that keep us running. I heard on a podcast once, “people run to get fit, but actually we need to get fit to run,” and this rings true.

As an Osteopath, I’ve seen my fair share of running injuries and unfortunately, no one is exempt to them, not even the elite. Most of the injuries I see usually come from a muscle imbalance (one muscle working too hard, others being lazy), muscle tightness or restrictions in mobility.

I have designed this course to; 

·      Strengthen running-specific muscles

·      Stretch commonly tight muscles

·      Mobilise your hips

·      Strengthen your ankles

·     Improve spinal rotation

·      Maximise recovery

·      Connect with your breath

·      Improve running form

·      Prevent injury

·      Teach you how to foam roll and massage ball all those tight spots

This course is suitable for absolute beginners, so if you’ve never done yoga before, please do not worry. This is a chance for runners to get together and have a bit of fun while we strengthen, stretch and foam roll.

Upon booking you will be prompted to fill out a health questionnaire. You will then receive an email providing an in-depth summary of the course, a week by week outline and any props you may need for class. 

This course is run on a pay what you can basis. You can sign up for one class at a time (£0-8), or if you want to jump in, you can pay upfront for the 6 weeks for £30. There will be one class per week for the 6 weeks, every Tuesday 7pm - 8:15pm.

As a thank you, if you pre pay for the 6-week course, every week you will be sent a downloadable link of the class so you can refer to it after the course has finished.
