Pre-Marathon Yoga Workshop In NYC
The Run S.M.A.R.T. Project is teaming up with Yoga Works yet again for a Pre-Marathon Yoga workshop.
Yoga Works offers to all Athletes a unique opportunity to benefit from yoga in some major ways. Because yoga is an effective way to both stretch and strengthen the body, it promotes physical balance, increases mental alertness, and helps to prevent injuries and discomforts. Furthermore, learning to use the body in this more efficient way is likely to improve your athletic performance.
You're down to the last 2 weeks of marathon training. Your long runs are in the bag, so now it's time to restore the body and reap the benefits of all your hard work. Marathon training has a tendency to break the body down. Supplementing your taper with yoga can help provide the balance your muscles and mind need. This balance is what helps you recover for the big race.
True fitness, then, is more than just strength. Genuine fitness means achieving a balance between strength and flexibility.
This workshop and Jodie Rufty will give you insight and advice of how to combine strength and flexibility to reach your goal:
Where: Yoga Works Downtown
138 Fifth Avenue (between 18th and 19th Street )
4th Floor
Date: Thursday, October 19, 2006
7:30-9:30pm
Jodie Rufty also gives private instruction to competitive marathoners. I will be there representing Run S.M.A.R.T. for any running realted questions. Hope to see some of the Run S.M.A.R.T. contingent there...
