Yoga for running
Yoga for runners
Running and the body
The same movement, thousands of times
In running the same movement is repeated with every stride, for kilometres. Hips, hamstrings, calves and ankles absorb a constant load, and as fatigue sets in, posture and breathing rhythm change.
The practice is built around the distance you are preparing for, your body and your training phase, in agreement with your coach if you have one.
What we work on
A practice built around the stride
- Hip and ankle mobilityFor a freer stride and more stable footing.
- Calves, hamstrings and the outside of the legElasticity and decompression in the areas the kilometres test most.
- Core and postureTo hold your form even when fatigue sets in, and help the upper body stay light and stable even after many kilometres of running.
- Breath and rhythmBreath awareness and control that you can carry into your runs.
- RecoveryRelease and restorative practices to support recovery in heavy training periods and after races.
The three pillars
Breath, body, mind
Breath
Pranayama to deepen breath awareness and manage energy during prolonged effort.
Body
Mobility, alignment and myofascial work for a more efficient stride with less compensation.
Mind
Concentration and presence to stay clear-headed at the hardest moments of a race.
How we work
Built into your preparation
The programme is built around the athlete and coordinated with their strength and conditioning coaches, in line with the season's goals. Sessions take place at your home or your club's facility, one-to-one or in small groups of up to four people.
We recommend practising consistently for at least three months to feel the benefits.

Ongoing sessions
Private lessons at your home or your club's facility, to ensure consistency and progression over time.
