Strong and Centred:  A Yoga & Pilates Foundation for Runners

Runners often turn to yoga or Pilates to counter the side effects and subtle imbalances created by their sport.  Prevention is, of course, a better approach.  Ideally we should be strong, supple and centre before we put the body through challenges of running – particularly before undertaking the miles required for a marathon.

This workshop focuses on the way Pilates and yoga can be used together for physical and spiritual wellness, addressing the differences and similarities between the two. Joseph Pilates was himself a student of yoga and Zen and the two may have more in common than you think: Sets of principles, systematic use of breath, engagement of the inner body and the relationship between the so-called  “core” and yoga’s Bandhas or locks.  Find out how, paradoxically, core work can make you more flexible, and stretching can make you stronger.  You’ll take away the key elements of a short but highly effective practice that should become an essential part of your running week.
