Most runners, cyclists and walkers are working on greater strength, but this Yin Yoga class will enhance length and flexibility. Running, sitting and high intensity workouts can have a negative effect on the lower back, knees, feet and ankles and the large muscles of the thighs. This way of exercising can tighten the hips, shorten the hamstrings, hip flexors and hip rotators and we can begin to feel a loss of range of movement in all these areas.

 

This Yin class is designed to nourish and rebuild these areas, making them stronger, longer and ready for your next run, marathon or next ride. This sequence is designed and intended for practice before or after your run or cycle in an easily absorbed sequence that you can take home with you and integrate into your life outside the studio.

 

We will follow the physical practice with a period of relaxation and meditation.
