Have you thought about the Benefits of YOGA for Runners?
1. The brief and regular application of Yoga Poses and Breathing techniques will help alleviate the imbalances and pain that result from constant or high impact training. By regaining balance, and learning to "feel" your body , you will utilize stretching and focused strengthening of injury-prone parts of the body, including the knees, hamstrings, and Achilles tendon.
2. By mixing various stules of yoga ( some focussed on "power" movement", others focussed o n "flow"), runners build strength, flexibility and endurance - complementing existing training activities.
