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 from 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

·      Mobilise your 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 roll.

Upon sign up you will receive an email providing an in-depth summary of the course, a week by week outline, a health questionnaire for you to fill out and send back to me and any props you may need for class. All classes will be via Zoom, please download the Zoom app onto your computer or phone prior to 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.

As a thank you, if you pay upfront for the 6-week course, each week you will receive download links for each class to refer to once the course is finished.
