Yoga for Marathon Runners (and Everyone Else!) 50 Minute Yoga Class - Five Parks Yoga

Tricia recently completed a marathon on the Mesa in Grand Junction (placing first) and advised me and joined me for this yoga class designed to support runners and what they confront during training and after running. Thanks Tricia!
Begin with deep breathing, followed by deep neck stretches in all directions. Continue loosening up the spine with cats/cows, followed by the spinal elongating pose of Childs pose, which additionally stretches the hips and ankles, as you twist the spine in a shoulder opener. Every runner’s favorite stretch, Toes Pose, brings some serious heat into the toes, soles of the feet, shins and ankles. This pose is imperative for all runners who need to keep their feet healthy and flexible. Following this 10 minute warm up, move into the full body stretches of downward dog and rag doll and monkey. Ignite the core in plank pose, plank rocks and chaturangas. Stretch the large muscles in the legs with lunges, forward folds, high cobra, wide legged low lunge and half splits. Activate the glutes and quadriceps in chair and twisting chair. Go even deeper into your leg stretches with skandasana (side lunges) and standing straddle splits before building heat and flexibility in squat before the deep release of pigeon pose. Continue to stretch the hips in fire log pose. Receive the benefits of opening the hip flexors while strengthening the low back and glutes in bridge pose. Reclined poses stretch the hip flexors, hamstrings, IT band, and inner thighs. Enjoy the incredibly restorative posture of legs up the wall pose before resting in Savasana pose.
Rindo and Daisy steal the show in this class! Enjoy the benefits of yoga to keep you healthy and active in your other activities.

What a fantastic class!!

[@joant5605]

Great stretch for Pickleball player! I like your new videos with guest partners. You are saving my body Erin! Thank you

[@zebrazagadore4827]

I loved the slower pace. Perfect for a rainy afternoon when I can’t be on the trail. Thank you!

[@Anna-dp1he]

Thanks for creating a class for runners. This was the perfect class after yesterdays long run.

[@kerrypadgett7154]

Thank you - perfect class and LOVED the dogs joining in (they brought a bit of humor and joy to the class).

[@justinej263]

This was a helpful yoga stretch for everyone! I do not run. I walk regularly, and this flow stretched areas that I have not stretched in a while. Thank you, Erin! Congratulations, Tricia!!

[@sallyanngiess2622]

This was a great class. I especially appreciate your clear directions. Thank you.

[@tahiram777]

Thank you Erin for this lovely class 🙏

[@susant.3285]

Another non-runner who found this class very beneficial. I walk about an hour and a half a day, and this felt so good, especially after a tougher walk through new fallen snow yesterday. Really appreciated the foot stretches,

[@runningwoman7207]

This yoga 🧘‍♀️ class was wonderful! I love the dogs joining in too! Congratulations Tricia on your first place marathon finish! 🏃‍♀️♥️👏👏👏

[@lcolon9032]

I run regularly and this was such a great deep stretch! I learned a few new moves too, Thanks Erin!

[@ninazadurian5111]

Thank you for the lovely deep stretch and lovely for you to have Tricia's company and well done on her marathon! I don't run anymore but I do long walks almost daily and up hills so this is a good one for that! As to other class suggestions, you really do cover a range and I love the short deep post workout stretches and slightly longer flows too. Currently I'm having some shoulder issues so my current request would be another wrist free class - no planks/ chaturangas etc. I like the ones you have on here already :)

[@geneanndelacruz873]

Ohh wow. Thank you Erin for this wonderful post marathon yoga flow❤ i ran my first marathon back in December & i enjoyed it so much. Looking forward to running more marathons this year. And knowing you have this in your playlist, definitely I'd be coming to this video more often😊 thank you for this gift & the inspiration 😘

[@joannemcgrath5671]
