| Summary |
"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 strains. Yoga for Runners will show you how to incorporate yoga and breathing techniques into your workouts, help you eliminate aches and pains, and keep you running stronger and longer. Inside, you'll find more than 100 poses described in detail to ensure correct execution, maximize the physical benefit, and decrease risk of injury. You'll learn how poses can be sequenced to address a specific need or area of concern, such as eliminating back and upper-body discomfort, strengthening and lengthening the hamstrings, increasing mobility of the hip joint, or speeding up the recovery process after a run. Throughout, anatomical illustrations and descriptions explain why these poses and sequences reduce your risk of acute or chronic injury and why they are beneficial to your training regimen. Yoga for Runners also addresses the mental demands of running through 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. Yoga for Runners will help you feel stronger, more balanced, more in tune with your breathing, and more aware of posture and technique. Your entire running experience will be more productive, positive, and enjoyable."-- back cover. |
