During this workshop for beginner hikers, backpackers and trail runners and experienced ones who are looking to take their experience to the next level, you’ll learn alignment principles of some foundational yoga poses and explore the physical and mental benefits of yoga for outdoor athletes. You’ll discover how yoga can:
- Help you warm-up before a hike or trail run
- Help your body recover after a long backpack trip, hike, or trail run
- Prevent and treat overuse injuries common in backpacking, hiking, and trail running
- Serve as a great strength and endurance cross-training workout.
- Develop the mindfulness and awareness to take both your performance and training to the next level
I'd love to make this an interactive session. Questions and comments will be encouraged.
