    I started doing this sequence about a month ago - since then, three separate injuries/pains (tight hamstring, painful ITB and piriformis) have improved dramatically and I was able to run a 60 mile ultramarathon at the weekend virtually pain-free. I highly recommend this to any runners. Thank you so much for posting!

    First yoga practice I've completed. Short enough for my attention span and long enough that I feel great now!

    I've been watching and practicing with this video for almost 2 years after my runs and it neeever gets old or boring! I love your voice the most, so soothing! This sequence of poses and the timely manner is perfect for busy days with a workout squeezed in! Thank you!! Namasté!

    What a great yoga sequence for runners. That IT band stretch is amazing. I've never been able to find another stretch that targets my IT band so well.

      Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover a beginners guide to yoga try Pyzork Dosha Yoga Professor ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got cool results with it.

    I injured myself this year running. My achillies tendinitis got pretty bad and I started seeing a PT specialist. He suggested yoga as a way to free up my general overall tightness, especially in my hips and legs. This has been a great program. I have never done yoga before, but I feel looser and more relaxed after performing this sequence. Thank you very much for your instructive videos.

    Brilliant! Thank you for the workout - I’ve tried and tried to get a decent runners workout over the years, but failed miserably. What I like about this video is the constant speed - you get through it. Hardest the first few times, but then quickly flows as a genuine session. Thanks!

    Brilliant! Thanks a lot for this. I've been running for about 18 months and recently spent 4 months preparing for my 1st marathon. Never tried yoga before and a couple of runners recommended it. I had some bad muscle pain in my hips and two sessions with this video before the marathon - and it's gone away. Never had it since. Now try to do this 3 times a week.

    I love this moment after doing yoga, when your whole body is so stretched and in Savasana you can feel all part of your body. Marvelous

  • @jenniferkramerarttherapyco3554
    @jenniferkramerarttherapyco3554 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I am not a runner, but I have been doing this routine off-and-on for a couple of years (and consistently for the past 6 months), due to chronic tightness in my hamstrings, calves, and feet. Completing this sequence a few times per week has been life-changing. I've learned to notice when my body needs these stretches, and I look forward to following the video time and time again. I've started to branch out into some of the other videos as well, but this one is a favorite! Thank you, Esther!

    • @Ekhartyoga
      @Ekhartyoga  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's fantastic to hear thank you - so happy to hear it has helped!

  • @theboywondered
    @theboywondered 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've placed this as my post run stretch routine and for me it does the trick. Although I have long legs and really can't get into half of the poses, it doesn't matter too much. Plenty of downward dog time to hit those calves too. Finally, I like the lack of music and Ekhart's minimal direct style. Thanks!

  • @nataliadewes5414
    @nataliadewes5414 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Absolutely amazing! Although I only run from 30 to 40 minutes 3 to 4 times a week, I could feel the benefit to parts of my body I didn't realize I was not stretching. Thank you so much for this class!

    After numerous painful injuries I decided to actually invest time into prevention, stretching and rolling this year. This video is amazing!! I've attended multiple yoga classes but none have ever had some of these poses for the hips, IT, and hamstring.

I love your soft voice, your pace though the video and how the exercise makes me feel afterwards. Thank you so much for this video!

    Thank you so much for posting this! I'm doing a 5k training program, and I'd been trying to do other yoga sequences on my cross-training days, but I couldn't stay loyal to those sequences because my legs were so desperate for a stretch! The stretches I was doing between poses were just like the ones in this video! This is exactly what my body wanted, and I feel SO much better!
