Mobility with elements of Yoga for Runners

I am Hanna, a registered and fully insured Yoga Teacher RYT500 with four years of teaching experience. I am an amateur athlete with 15 years of experience in sports like calisthenics, powerlifting, rock climbing and I have a wealth of knowledge and a deep understanding of training and performance and how important combining flexibility and mobility into our life is.

“Mobility with elements of Yoga for Runners” classes are tailored specifically to enhance performance, flexibility, mobility and recovery.

Why mobility and Yoga for runners??

Here are some facts:

· Each foot has over 200,000 nerve endings, 107 ligaments, 19 muscles. A 5-mile run would typically involve 10,000 steps based on the average person taking roughly 2,000 steps per mile.

· At its peak, a load of 2.5 to 3.0 times of your body weight presses on the foot (admitted only for a fracture of second). A lot? Quite!

· Professional runner does in average 180 steps per minute, amateurs 170-160 steps per minute… You can only imagine what your feet go through.

· All overloads are cushioned by the hip joint acting as a shock absorber … that’s a lot of work for hips as well!

Mobility is crucial for runners for several reasons which I all cover in my workshop:

1. Injury prevention: Increased mobility helps to prevent injuries by allowing for a greater range of motion in the joints and muscles. When the body is more flexible, it can absorb the stresses of running more effectively.

2. Improve performance: Runners with good mobility are able to maintain proper form and mechanics, which can lead to improved performance and reduce fatigue.

3. Enhanced Recovery: Regular mobility work and mindfulness and breathing technics taught through Yoga can aid in recovery.

4. Better Stride Mechanics: Mobility work can help runners achieve optimal stride.

5. Posture and Alignment: Good mobility contributes to proper alignment and posture. This is especially important for runners, as poor posture can lead to muscle imbalances, wrong breathing patterns and increased injury risk.

6. Core stability and balance: Many mobility exercises and yoga poses engage the core, which is essential for maintaining stability and form during running.

My session offers mobility drills, dynamic stretching, selected yoga poses, breathing exercises, facia release technics to enhance runner’s experience and performance.
