You already know that running can be invigorating, therapeutic,
fun, and challenging. And you are likely painfully aware that it
can lead to stiffness, muscle imbalances, and overuse injuries such
as knee pain, shin splints, sciatica, and hamstring and groin
strains. 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 featured yoga poses was exclusively selected for runners and is
described in detail to ensure correct execution and improve
strength, mobility, and flexibility. Every part of the body is
addressed to help you strengthen the spine, core, upper body, hips,
hamstrings, knees, and feet and ankles. Accompanied by full-color
photos, the poses are also arranged into 13 yoga sequences to
address specific areas of concern such as core stability,
strengthening and lengthening the hamstrings, increasing mobility
of the hip joint, speeding up the recovery process after a practice
run or race, and loosening the neck and shoulders, which is
particularly beneficial for runners who sit much of the day.
Anatomical illustrations and descriptions explain how the poses and
sequences decrease your risk of acute or chronic injury as well as
why they are beneficial to your training regimen. Yoga for Runners
also features breathing and mindfulness techniques to help you
become more alert to the signs of a possible injury developing and
to know when you can push your body a bit harder. Now is the
perfect time to start a yoga program that will help your endurance,
strength, breathing, and mental sharpness and make your running
experience more productive, pain free, and enjoyable for years to
come. CE exam available! For certified professionals, a companion
continuing education exam can be completed after reading this book.
Yoga for Runners Online CE Exam, Second Edition, may be purchased
separately or as part of the Yoga for Runners With CE Exam, Second
Edition, package that includes both the book and the exam.
