I love getting to know other men and women within the New York City health and wellness scene. For this reason, I love hosting events with local studios and gyms where we can connect, workout, relax, network, and maybe meet a new workout partner in the process! I was overwhelmed by the response to the Yoga for Runners workshop held this past Saturday! There were so many friendly faces enjoying the afternoon stretch together!
Therefore, as promised, On October 20th, I am partnering with Equinox to host the second Yoga for Runners workshop which will help local runners and athletes release tension in their tired muscles and move through restorative poses to heal, stretch, and strengthen the body. These workshop will be perfect for people who are training for Fall races or have just been pushing themselves more in the gym lately. Yoga is a great complement to running, spinning and weight training which can help prevent injury and provide you with mental durability!
This workshop, which will take place on October 20th from 2-3pm, will be led by the lovely Sarra Morton! The class will surely fill quickly so please sign up using the form below ASAP. In addition, if for any reason you need to drop out, I request that you let me know as soon as possible so I let others in off the wait list. Don’t worry if you’re not a member at Equinox. This event is open to all Healthy, Happier Bear readers, regardless of whether you belong to Equinox.
It goes without saying that none of this would be possible without the support of the awesome 19th Street Equinox team (Lauren Greer, Sarra Morton, Justin Foley) and Kristin McGee! Thank you all for your support and partnership!
I REALLY wish I could go, I adore Kristin and have been trying to find a time to take her class but I was actually organizing another blogger event at that exact time that day (did you get the invite btw?). Sad… let me know next time you’re partnering with Kristin!
OK I signed up – trying to resched the other thing so we can all attend that!
I love yoga and need to do it more often! Looks like fun.
This sounds amazing! (And makes me miss New York already!) Have a great time- can’t wait to read your recap. 🙂
so wish i could go – instead i’ll be cheering on runners at the chicago marathon! of course, the one weekend i’m out of town.
Do you (or your yoga instructor) have any suggestions for good yoga for runners routines on youtube? I have searched them, and there are a lot that kind of show you some moves and say “do that 4-5 times,” but I am looking for a real time video with an instructor that goes through a good 20-40 minute routine, covering some of the areas (hips, legs, back) that are always so tight for us runners! Thanks!
Hi Amanda! I love these two YouTube videos, one is Tara Stiles and the other is a 25 minute class.
