Yoga For Runners: YouTube Videos To Watch

Here are the top YouTube videos if you are someone that’s looking for yoga for runners. Enjoy and share this post with a runner friend!
If you have tight thighs and hamstrings after running (*slowly raises hand*) and just want to not have tight legs in general after your run then maybe some yoga might be in order.
Yoga is perfect for lengthening the muscles and releasing tension that’s held in them.
Practicing yoga either before or after a run can help your muscles. And, thankfully, there are quite a few yoga teachers on YouTube that have created videos specifically for runners.
Below you’ll find videos that are specific either to before a run or after a run, but, honestly, they can be done any time of the week. You don’t even have to be a runner to practice these sequences.
Benefits of Yoga
There are so many benefits of yoga that go far beyond just practicing yoga for runners or pregnancy or [insert] other types of issues/things. Yoga can help you destress in a world that only seems to want to make you more stressed.
It helps you slow down in a world that wants you to go and do faster and faster. It brings you back to this moment rather than living in the future and planning for what “might” happen.
- Improves flexibility
- Builds muscle strength
- Protects your spine
- Increases blood flow
- Drains your lymph nodes and boosts immunity
- Drops your blood pressure
Aside from this small, small list, there are so many more benefits of yoga that you can find by googling. (*)
So, rather than practice just for a specific thing (like running), pause and take deep breaths that help to ground you and allow you to focus on the right now.
