This package includes the following:
  • Yoga for Runners, Second Edition, ebook
  • Online continuing education exam

Yoga for Runners, Second Edition, will show you how to incorporate yoga and breathing techniques into your clients’ workouts, helping eliminate chronic aches and pains and keeping them 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 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 risk of acute or chronic injury as well as why they are beneficial to a training regimen.

Yoga for Runners also features breathing and mindfulness techniques to help your clients become more alert to the signs of a possible injury developing and to know when they can push a bit harder.

After reading the ebook, certified professionals can take the companion CE exam to earn continuing education credits.
