Gain mobility and reduce running injuries with yoga

Run healthy with fewer aches and pains

Runners are often painfully familiar with stiffness, muscle imbalances, and overuse injuries. Let Yoga for Runners show you how to incorporate yoga and breathing techniques into your workouts, help you eliminate chronic aches and pains, and keep you running stronger and longer. Each of the yoga poses—selected especially for runners—is described in detail to improve your strength, mobility, and flexibility.

Thirteen yoga sequences focus on areas of concern such as core stability, increasing mobility of the hip joint, and speeding up the recovery process after a run. Plus, breathing and mindfulness techniques help you become more alert to the signs of a possible injury developing. Now is the perfect time to start a yoga program that will help you run healthily and pain free for years to come.
