Summer Yoga for Runners:
10 Sun Salutations for Athletes
Friday August 1st 7:30-9:30pm £20
Triyoga, Erskine Rd, Primrose Hill NW3 3AJ (click for map)
Please book in advance here

The sun salutation, or suryanamaskar, has become a mainstay of the contemporary yoga practice.  Sun salutations are warming, stimulating, have a positive effect on breath, energy, strength and suppleness.  They mobilize the spine, strengthen the core while lengthening the hamstrings and calves – truly a gift to runners, as a warm up or self contained practice.  Sun salutations are also a great vehicle for travelling into a variety of related postures.

In this workshop we will look a number of sun salutation “formats”, discussing their anatomy, benefits and how to perform them safely with modifications offered.  We’ll then examine some postures that address areas you may have developed tightness or instability through athletics –  shoulders, low back, core, hamstrings, quads, hips, calves.  Finally, we’ll weave the postures into a continuous, fiery sequence of 10 creative and memorably named runner-athletes’ sun salutations.

Heat your body, unlock tightness and get your energy flowing from top to toe.  See you August 1^st (rain or shine!)
