Yoga is a perfect compliment to a runner’s workout routine (& vice versa).

Research suggests that yoga…
- combats stress
- assists with weight loss
- helps promote recovery & muscle relaxation [restorative yoga]
- increases strength & flexibility which can help prevent injuries & can improve running performance [and therefore race times!]
You just FEEL BETTER after you’re done with a yoga session, physically & mentally! We have embraced yoga as part of our regular workout routine, sometimes post-run, sometimes as a stand alone workout. Heck, we even started our very own #MilesandMats hashtag! 🙂 Visit the posts below and check back frequently for more info & tips on our love affair as runner-yogis.
