Book summary

Runners looking to maximize performance as well as increase their overall health can benefit from adding yoga to their workout routine. Based on the teachings of Hatha yoga, as instructed by B.K.S. Iyengar, the approach in the RUNNER'S YOGA BOOK allows runners to discover where strengths and weaknesses lie in their bodies, and to correct them by practicing asanas (poses), thus improving flexibility and posture. The asanas demand that each side be strengthened equally so that balance is truly achieved. This newfound balance prevents injury, increases range of motion, and allows for more proficient breathing. Not only is the runner's overall fitness increased, but the benefits are experienced in all aspects of health and well-being.
