YOGA FOR RUNNERS

& ENDURANCE ATHLETES
 

HELP MEET YOUR MARATHON GOALS WITH THIS EFFECTIVE CROSS TRAINING

Description
This 8-week series of 1 1/2 hour classes uses the foundations of yoga to bring awareness to structural and muscular imbalances caused by repetitive strain on specific muscle groups used in running. Muscles, joints and tendons that are subject to overuse injury will be he focus. Each week will have a specific body emphasis, leading to the development of an individualized post run routine.

About the Teacher:
Christine Felstead
has a long history as a 10 km and marathon runner. In recent years she has become a yoga enthusiast, both as a practitioner and instructor. Christine uses her personal experience in working to realign and increase the range of motion in her own body and shares these insights with her students. Additionally, she has conducted numerous workshops throughout the GTA and incorporates what she learns from her students into these sessions. Christine has completed the teacher training program at Toronto's Downward Dog Yoga Centre.

Participant Feedback:

“I literally limped into the yoga for runners workshop, suffering from pain in my knees and a deep depression because my injuries prevented me from running. Christine Felstead showed me stretches and strengthening poses that have solved the injury, and allowed me to get back -- and stay up -- on my feet. Once again I'm running -- this time pain and injury free -- thanks to what I learned in the yoga for runners workshops.”
Jennifer Quinn

"I recently took Christine Felstead's Yoga for Runners course as a novice runner. It has allowed me to feel confident about developing a running practice that is self-conscious and particular to my own strengths and vulnerabilities as an athlete. I have even found that residues from prior sports injuries have begun to work themselves out, and from this I am noticing new strengths! What stands out about Christine's Yoga for Runners program is that it encourages you to take an interest in your own potential for improved movement, flexibility, and performance. The best kind of teaching!"
