Yoga for Runners

I ran my first half marathon in February and decided to start yoga afterward because of the toll my body took while training and participating in the race.  Yoga helps runners to strengthen muscles and increase flexibility which in turn can help you run more efficiently and stay injury-free.  In retrospect, I really should have been actively practicing yoga throughout the months leading up to the half but there is always next time.  Shiner Beer Run (half marathon) in November, here I come!

I really enjoy this yoga video for an easy 20-minute sequence.  The instructor does a nice job talking you through each move.
