See The Yoga Loft at the Capital City Marathon

Running and yoga go hand-in-hand.  That’s why The Yoga Loft will be a part of this coming weekend’s Capitol City Marathon.  Before the annual event, Yoga Loft teacher Kristi Lyons will help runners with a warm-up routine. Also, make sure to stop by our booth at Sylvester Park.   Learn what some runners already know, that yoga provides many benefits.

Why do runners grove on yoga?

-It helps provide balance to muscles.  Some athletes overwork some while neglecting others.       

- Yoga postures help lengthen hip mucsles, hamstrings and other overly contracted muscles.

                                                                                                                 

- Runners who do yoga can better listen to their body.

-Yoga helps build a sound body alignment to help prevent misstep

- Yoga helps your mind by building better concentration and growing confidence.
