Running, yoga and brews!

Coached runs paired with a yoga class at a South Denver brewery! Work on form, speed, balance, core, recovery and flexibility in March- April.

Have you dabbled in running but never loved the sport? Or maybe you are a seasoned runner looking to improve your running technique, increase your pace or prevent overuse injuries. Whether you are training for your first 5k or are a veteran marathoner, these classes are perfectly paired to help you run and feel stronger, healthier and more mindful in 2022!

Runners need yoga. As runners, we all struggle with strength and flexibility issues, not to mention mental agility, all of which, when addressed, can open the door to faster times, more comfortable distances and overall positive attitude about the sport.

During this 7-week run/yoga series, we will start each session with a professionally coached 45 minute run. Runs will incorporate a proper warm-up and will vary by distance and intensity with specific objectives built into each session including work on running form/biomechanics, intervals, pacing, breathing and more. Longer run options will be available to those looking for an added challenge or training for a longer distance event.

WHEN?

Every Thursday from 5:45pm-7:15pm (40 minute run, 40 minute yoga)
