Navigating the Demands on Running
Runners live in a space where structure, discipline, and performance often take centre stage. They tend to always be on the go, rarely slowing down. Amidst training blocks, niggles, and the mental load of training & racing, yoga offers a much-needed opportunity to shift gears; not to do less, but to tune in and listen more closely. As a practice that prioritises breath, body awareness, and regulation of the nervous system, yoga supports runners in staying connected to their internal rhythms, especially when external demands are high. Ultimately, yoga is about finding equilibrium.
The Role of Yoga in Running
Through intentional movement, yoga enhances mobility, coordination, and postural awareness, all of which contribute to better running efficiency and reduced risk of injury. But beyond the physical, it’s also a practice of deep listening. When we start tuning into sensation and breath, we begin to notice what’s happening underneath the surface; how we’re responding to effort, to fatigue, and to the emotional landscape of chasing goals. For runners, this is gold! It builds resilience and teaches us how to meet challenges without facing burnout.
