ONLINE Yin / Yang for Runners
Join keen runner Kath for her wonderful Yin/Yang Yoga for Runners classes. This class will usually start with meditation and pranayama (breathing techniques) to focus the mind and help cultivate the breath. We will then move into a yang practice; a lovely yoga flow to build strength and make space in key areas of the body for runners.
Then, the class will slow right down into a Yin practice, working through some deep opening in areas that commonly hold tension.
Yin Yoga is widely renowned as a perfect complement to a regular running practice. In Yin Yoga, poses are held for a few minutes; targeting the connective tissue (fascia), which helps to undo the postural mis-alignments that come from repeating specific movements. Yin Yoga helps to realign bones where they meet ensuring a smooth articulation of bones at joints.
Come and join us to experience this amazing complement to running!
