WHY SHOULD RUNNERS DO YOGA?
As we know, stretching and rest is an important part of any fitness routine - specifically movements that can be taxing on the joints and muscles. Running is one of the most important sports that requires frequent stretching in order to avoid injury, and to ensure longevity in your training.
Yoga is an incredible form of stretching. It is not only great for the physical benefits but also the mental benefits too. To be able to have the time to pause and reflect on yourself can be incredibly beneficial to your training and your daily life. Yoga has been shown to help refocus and boost productivity as you begin to train your brain to have mental clarity and focus for your priorities.

No matter what level of athlete you are, everyone can benefit from jumping on the mat and practicing a bit of yoga. Finding the time to incorporate some easy poses and stretches into your routine after a workout, trying to find stress relief after a long day, or you want to help prevent pesky injuries, mastering some basic yoga moves will accomplish those goals.
Yoga can improve mobility and coordination, reduce the chances of injury, build strength, help you breathe more efficiently and help you push through the mental challenges that come with running big miles. Doing a yoga class is a great way to get into it, and also keep you more accountable. Whilst there are tonnes of Youtube videos or apps that can help guide you through flows and poses which can be done in the gym, at home, at the park - or whether suits you! Our coaches are all yoga fans, so feel free to drop them a message for any recommendations for anything yoga related!
Happy yoga-ing!

OFF-DUTY WEAR
You don't always need to be running around in full-tech exercise gear, we like to have the comfies on every now and again! Especially when stretching and relaxing on days off. We have thrown together of pieces that are great for in the studio and out of the studio - to stretch and take it easy!
A more relaxed yoga tight - perfect to have on as an everyday pair and can move with you in all sorts of poses!
A through-over sweatshirt perfect for after practice, for grabbing coffee after the gym, or just hanging around the house.
For your dedicated yoga time - the perfect yoga block to compliment your practice!
This is a great casual yoga top that stretches and breathes when you move, but can also be layered as a great top outside the studio!
Everyone needs a solid pair of joggers - you can never have enough right?

This is from the perspective of a yoga teacher, so it is interesting to hear the work that goes into teaching and the general principles that are needed when you may go to a class.
