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 1st (rain or
shine!)
