3 Simple Yoga Asana Inspired Movements for Runners
Build balance, strength, and fire with these psoas and glute focused dynamic flows
Running is a balance. Runners want mobility in the lower limbs and stability in the core, including the pelvis and back. Too little or much of either, or reverse the two, and running won’t feel great.
The postures I’m sharing below introduce movement into the key joints associated with running (hips, knees, and ankles) and help strengthen key stabilizers (core, glutes, and quads) while offering a stretch for the hamstrings, inner thigh/groin, and psoas.
I encourage you to move from one posture to the other slowly with control. How to do the postures and the ‘why’ of the poses are all explained below. As for reps, focus on bringing awareness to the targeted muscles and joints instead. Go until you feel the engagement, maybe you’ll start building some heat.
They are simple, but trust me, with awareness, slow movement, and control, they are effective.
