What to Expect from Yoga for Runners

Testimonial - Candice Walley

"I joined Laura's yoga class to improve my strength and stability. I have certainly achieved this and have a much better posture and balance, which is highly important for trail runners to avoid injury. Though I enter trail marathons, I am not competitive and run for personal fulfilment - relaxation and stress management, self-achievement and enjoyment of nature. If I am struggling to relax into a run or am finding it mentally tough, I always run through a yoga sequence in my mind to achieve calmness and serenity. So not only has becoming a Yogi enhanced my personal running experience by giving me the core skills to improve my technique, but also maintain focus and harmony. Thanks Laura!"

"Having previously struggled with running injuries I have found Laura's yoga class to be invaluable to my training. Her class has helped by regularly stretching out my fascia and has improved my balance, coordination, breathing, body awareness and focus, all essential for helping maintain good running form, particularly when trail running. I recently completed a 100 mile race across the South Downs Way with no sign of injury, no niggles or even a single blister! I attribute my success in no small part to Laura's class which I couldn't recommend more highly! I even completed a sun salutation at 54 miles on route!"

"I started struggling with my running, I was getting faster and running further but I was getting injured a lot and feeling very tired and stiff. I am not very flexible and I struggled at first, but Laura is very patient and knowledgeable and helped me a lot. It has been three years now since I started yoga, and I have noticed that I don't get injured as much. I don't get as tired and stiff so much from running and my suppleness and flexibility are improving all the time, my posture and running form are improving and my general all round fitness and flexibility are improving. I fully expect to continue with yoga and running as a form of exercise. I see them both linked now, each one helping the other. I definitely feel my running has improved through yoga."

Testimonial - Rachael Ramsey

"Running has always been part of my life but three years ago I attempted stretching after a race and realised I couldn't touch my toes. I decided that I needed to work on my flexibility and had heard that yoga was good for this so I started going to Laura's classes. I am pleased to say that Laura said 'yoga is a journey', which was good as I felt so far away from being a 'bendy' person when I started. At first, I saw the physical improvements such as relief in my lower back both when doing the postures but also after classes. It also taught me to recognise when I was tightening up and how to release my muscles. After the obvious benefits, I started to notice that the breathing and meditative exercises had transposed themselves from the mat to my running. When doing events I noticed that I found it far more easy to calm my breath and concentrate on my end goal. Now yoga is as much as a part of my routine as running and I want to thank Laura for her teaching as I always look forward to class."
