Posse up, Seattle Runners! Spring Marathon Month is on the horizon and there's no better time to get on your mat and optimize all your mileage.

Let’s be real: no one likes post-LR booty lock, and being injured sucks. Luckily, when you keep yoga functional — practical — for your sport-specific needs, a little bit will go a long way to help you prevent injuries, recover from training and racing and, ultimately, run your best. Join Team Athletes for Yoga’s Bree Dillon and Lulu Hays for a 2-hour A4Y for Runners Clinic, designed to help you learn to use yoga to optimize your running.

You will learn:

• Run-specific sequences to maintain hip and hamstring flexibility

• Upper body stretches that will help improve your posture and running form

• Tips for preventing common runner issues such as plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and IT band pain

• Myth-busting of common misperceptions about how to stretch effectively

All levels of yoga and running experience welcome!

When: Saturday, March 19, 9:30–11:30am
Where: Bala Yoga, 3624 Stone Way N, Seattle
Cost: $50 (includes handout of Athletes for Yoga for Runners sequences)
