Week 1
Yoga
Welcome to your program designed to stretch all parts of your body that tend to tighten from running. You can expect a series of classes designed to target your feet, ankles, calves, quads, hips, low back, hamstrings and thighs. Begin with this first class that addresses areas of tightness common to most runners. This sequence will serve as the backbone, as the following classes of the sequence will build upon what you learn here. Unlace, unwind and let's get started.
Yoga
Steady your stride and keep your momentum going with this class that works to open up your quads and hip flexors. Practice stretches that help release the binding hip flexors and tight quads. Begin with supine leg stretches, moving into backbends and an active sequence that includes gatekeeper and ardha chandrasana. Wind down reclined in poses that continue to leave you feeling lighter, not tighter.
Week 2

Open tight hamstrings to relieve low back stress with this class designed just for that. Warm up with cat/cows before moving into a series of poses like vasisthasana, lunge variations, forward folds and reclined postures that help release your tight muscles and stretch you out.
