You already know that running can be invigorating, therapeutic, fun, and challenging. And you are likely painfully aware that it can lead to stiffness, muscle imbalances, and overuse injuries such as knee pain, shin splints, sciatica, and hamstring and groin strains. Let Yoga for Runners show you how to incorporate yoga and breathing techniques into your workouts, help you eliminate chronic aches and pains, and keep you running stronger and longer. Each of the featured yoga poses was exclusively selected for runners and is described in detail to ensure correct execution and improve strength, mobility, and flexibility. Every part of the body is addressed to help you strengthen the spine, core, upper body, hips, hamstrings, knees, and feet and ankles. Accompanied by full-color photos, the poses are also arranged into 13 yoga sequences to address specific areas of concern such as core stability, strengthening and lengthening the hamstrings, increasing mobility of the hip joint, speeding up the recovery process after a practice run or race, and loosening the neck and shoulders, which is particularly beneficial for runners who sit much of the day. Anatomical illustrations and descriptions explain how the poses and sequences decrease your risk of acute or chronic injury as well as why they are beneficial to your training regimen. Yoga for Runners also features breathing and mindfulness techniques to help you become more alert to the signs of a possible injury developing and to know when you can push your body a bit harder. Now is the perfect time to start a yoga program that will help your endurance, strength, breathing, and mental sharpness and make your running experience more productive, pain free, and enjoyable for years to come. CE exam available! For certified professionals, a companion continuing education exam can be completed after reading this book. Yoga for Runners Online CE Exam, Second Edition, may be purchased separately or as part of the Yoga for Runners With CE Exam, Second Edition, package that includes both the book and the exam.… (altro)

This was an interesting read for me, particularly since I suffered a running injury last year and have been looking at ways of strengthening my ankle. I'm very much a beginner when it comes to yoga. There were parts that seemed a little bit woo-woo to me, but the exercises are right on. Perhaps my only complaint is that, not being familiar with yoga, it's really hard to keep track of what I'm supposed to be doing for which pose and involves propping the book in interesting ways. (

This book accomplishes exactly what it sets out to, showing how Yoga practice can improve the health, fitness, and runs of runners. Running works out a few muscles deeply, and the Yoga practices in this book help keep everything balanced. My only recommendation would be to link ownership of the book to an online video series demonstrating the exercises. (

I was hoping this book would help me start doing some yoga so that I could avoid injury from running. Unfortunately, I didn't start soon enough! What I really like is the detailed descriptions about how the various parts of the body function, what can go wrong, and specific poses to help strengthen and target particular areas. (

Good health is not just cardiovascular, but includes flexibility and strength through exercising the skeletal, muscular and other systems of the body in multiple ways. Controlled breathing is critical for runners, weight lifters, and those doing yoga. This book focuses on how yoga benefits runners, but the information is useful for walkers, hikers, moms chasing toddlers, and anyone else whose cardiovascular health relies on using the legs to cover distances. The table of contents divides the body and health concerns into chapters, and a table at the beginning provides page numbers for particular poses. Illustrations depict muscles, joints and other body parts, while the accompanying text discusses how particular poses strengthen and add flexibility; a runner with a particular issue may go directly to that chapter for help. Included are tables showing various sequences that range from low (TV yoga) to those focusing on particular “hot spots” for runners; photographs illustrate each pose in the sequence. Props, breathing techniques, yoga safety, and brief biographical sketches are included. This is a thoroughly researched and accessible book that will benefit the novice runner or novice yoga practitioner, as well as those who are experienced and knowledgeable. Good writing makes it easy and interesting to read. (

"Yoga for Runners" by Christine Felstead is a great book to introduce runners to the wonderful world of yoga. This resource presents yoga as a great addition to a runner’s training program. I liked the way the author gave a brief, but thorough introduction to the basics of yoga and then, concentrated on the asanas that will specifically prevent damage of certain areas, as well as assist in the rehabilitation of common running injuries. Her anatomical descriptions offered just the right amount of detail, but I would have liked to see more pictures of the body areas highlighted. My favorite sections include the different yoga sequences to allow for a varied practice, as well as the restorative yoga segment, which is essential for recovery. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wishes to maintain a healthy, running regimen. (
