WORKSHOP SERIES
YOGA FOR RUNNERS
Are you a runner training for a local friendly race? Maybe the Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon or the Cherry Blossom 10-Miler?
Or do you simply love to run? Or all of the above?
Join us for a deep stretch yoga class that is the perfect compliment before or after your weekend training run. This slow flow all-levels class is perfect for beginners, has a focus on strength, balance, and flexibility, and is taught by a marathon runner.
The Schedule:
Saturday, October 10th | 1pm-5pm
1-4pm: Learning mode activated! (No you will not be moving in a hot room for 4 hours we promise!)
You will sit and listen to your leaders as they break down the anatomy and alignment of foundational postures, watch as they demonstrate each posture including modifications and what postures you might be able to access next as your hamstrings, hips, spines, and shoulders start to “open up”, and then you will get up to feel it in your own body and find the shape that is best for your body’s current ability so you feel more empowered in your next class that you are doing the posture correctly, reaping its benefits, and advancing your yoga practice!
4-5pm: Now you move and sweat!
You will take a classic Hamstrings, Hips, and Spines class led by the creator of the practice itself, Kimberly Sickmen.
What it is:
A deep dive into the foundational postures that improve strength, flexibility, and mobility in your hamstrings, hips, spines, and shoulders. These body groups are likely where you experience weakness and/or tightness and either of those things can be limiting your ability to move comfortably out in the world and advance your practice on your mat! In this learning lab, your leaders will talk about the anatomy involved, the proper alignment, modifications depending on your body’s current ability level, the more “advanced” postures these foundational poses build towards, and how you can implement this knowledge and these skills into your own yoga practice to start seeing improvements in your movement on and off the mat!
Who it’s for:
Anybody with a body!
No matter your skill level or your favorite yoga class style, you will benefit from the wisdom shared within this learning lab. If you are someone who wants to reap benefits from your yoga postures, feel stronger and more mobile in your body, and see your yoga practice getting stronger, then trust us, this is for you.
If you are a minimum 200 hour RYT, you can earn 5 CE credits for attending this event!
