Seattle Runners! Optimize your mileage...

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
