    I started doing this sequence about a month ago - since then, three separate injuries/pains (tight hamstring, painful ITB and piriformis) have improved dramatically and I was able to run a 60 mile ultramarathon at the weekend virtually pain-free. I highly recommend this to any runners. Thank you so much for posting!

    What a great yoga sequence for runners. That IT band stretch is amazing. I've never been able to find another stretch that targets my IT band so well.

      Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover a beginners guide to yoga try Pyzork Dosha Yoga Professor ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got cool results with it.

    I injured myself this year running. My achillies tendinitis got pretty bad and I started seeing a PT specialist. He suggested yoga as a way to free up my general overall tightness, especially in my hips and legs. This has been a great program. I have never done yoga before, but I feel looser and more relaxed after performing this sequence. Thank you very much for your instructive videos.

  • @arealslowpoke
    @arealslowpoke Před 8 lety +3

    Hi Esther, I love all your videos. I saved them to my favorites and play them whenever I am practicing. I too am a yoga instructor but I am in the corporate world. Thank you for your teaching and for your unique style. Namaste, Lourdes

  • @caroletomaszewicz737
    @caroletomaszewicz737 Před rokem +2

    Brilliant! Thank you for the workout - I’ve tried and tried to get a decent runners workout over the years, but failed miserably. What I like about this video is the constant speed - you get through it. Hardest the first few times, but then quickly flows as a genuine session. Thanks!

  • @tytilghman9428
    @tytilghman9428 Před 9 lety +6

    I've started training for a half marathon and knew yoga would be the best course for improving my performance. This sequence was amazing and helped me to clear my mind, stretch and relax. Thank you for posting this :] Namaste.

  • @alexandraspiegel7492

  • @Raf_Mac
    @Raf_Mac Před 9 lety +1

    Brilliant! Thanks a lot for this. I've been running for about 18 months and recently spent 4 months preparing for my 1st marathon. Never tried yoga before and a couple of runners recommended it. I had some bad muscle pain in my hips and two sessions with this video before the marathon - and it's gone away. Never had it since. Now try to do this 3 times a week.

  • @gosiaw.945
    @gosiaw.945 Před 10 lety +1

    I love this moment after doing yoga, when your whole body is so stretched and in Savasana you can feel all part of your body. Marvelous

    Absolutely amazing! Although I only run from 30 to 40 minutes 3 to 4 times a week, I could feel the benefit to parts of my body I didn't realize I was not stretching. Thank you so much for this class!

  • @brianlugenbuhl3826

    I’ve been doing this session for over 5 years. I still find it one of the best stretches for the legs.

  • @EmilyBernath

    I am a runner and wanted to thank you for this sequence. Love the stretches and the pace, namaste!

  • @jenniferkramerarttherapyco3554

    I am not a runner, but I have been doing this routine off-and-on for a couple of years (and consistently for the past 6 months), due to chronic tightness in my hamstrings, calves, and feet. Completing this sequence a few times per week has been life-changing. I've learned to notice when my body needs these stretches, and I look forward to following the video time and time again. I've started to branch out into some of the other videos as well, but this one is a favorite! Thank you, Esther!

    • @Ekhartyoga

  • @jiggaguilar
    @jiggaguilar Před 10 lety +1

    That was really great! I didn't even know where my IT band was but have always feared the dreaded runners IT injury! Now I know where it is and how to stretch it:) Thanks so much, I'm going to share with all my runner friends!

  • @theboywondered
    @theboywondered Před 10 lety +1

    I've placed this as my post run stretch routine and for me it does the trick. Although I have long legs and really can't get into half of the poses, it doesn't matter too much. Plenty of downward dog time to hit those calves too. Finally, I like the lack of music and Ekhart's minimal direct style. Thanks!

  • @yogawithheini
    @yogawithheini Před rokem

    Thank you for this Esther! I had done a short run earlier and, combined with this sequence, my back felt so much better than it had felt in a long time!

    @caroline9902 Před 3 lety

    I’ve started this routine during my marathon training 3 years ago and now, after the marathon and two pregnancies, I’m still doing it as a preparation for coming back to running. I love your soft voice, your pace though the video and how the exercise makes me feel afterwards. Thank you so much for this video!

  • @samanthashears5665
    @samanthashears5665 Před 10 lety

    I really enjoyed this! I'm new to yoga, so this was a perfect intro. I loved Ester's voice, very soothing! I also didn't feel bad when I couldn't get deeply into a stretch! Will definitely do again and am already recommending to friends!!

  • @AlignmentCoaching
    @AlignmentCoaching Před 10 lety

    I've been balancing my running with yoga forms and stretches for years. Funny, but this video seems to cover everything I do and that I've felt effective for me personally. Couldn't help but laugh as I watched you do them, Ester. Good to feel validated! Thanks for posting these!

  • @nottilthursday
    @nottilthursday Před 9 lety

    Thank you so much for posting this! I'm doing a 5k training program, and I'd been trying to do other yoga sequences on my cross-training days, but I couldn't stay loyal to those sequences because my legs were so desperate for a stretch! The stretches I was doing between poses were just like the ones in this video! This is exactly what my body wanted, and I feel SO much better!
