This session of yoga exercises for runners is a combination of beginner, intermediate and advance techniques that will aid and boost the runner. Yoga for runners is proven to enhance the abilities of the runner through meditation, techniques on how to breathe and exercise techniques.
The first exercise for Yoga for runners will begin from the Child’s Pose position by kneeling on the workout mat, spreading your knees wide on the mat and allowing your big toes to touch each other, push your hips down into your heels, work your fingertips forward, tuck your chin close to your chest and place your forehead on the mat.
This practice is going to focus on creating strength, stability and flexibility. It will help you to recover from running injuries or prevent any future injuries. It will help your body to be strong and supple.
Now from the Child’s Pose come into the Downward Dog (Down Dog), hands and feet flat on the mat and hips lifted up high. Breathe in Down Dog spreading your fingers apart, pressing your palms forward, draw your chest back, allow your shoulders to roll away from your ears and down your back. Feel your hips move high while feeling your heels move into the mat. Use your breath, with each inhale you lengthen to create space and during the exhale you go deeper. It is your breath that is your guide in yoga.
