Episode 23: Yoga- the secret weapon




The Pocket Running Coach show

Summary: <br> Ohmmmmm......This episode I spend a little time with yoga instructor Jen Stevens to discuss how you can incorporate this ancient art form into your weekly training.  The benefits may surprise you! I have seen a HUGE benefit from incorporating yoga just a couple days a week, and after this interview, I want to do it even more!<br> <br> As a challenge, I'd love to see pictures on<a href="https://twitter.com/tprcpodcast">twitter </a>or <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ThePocketRunningCoach">facebook </a>of some of those sweet yoga poses you have been practicing!!<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Jen was kind enough to send me links to some of the poses she recommends for runners and athletes, as well as some great resources for finding a studio near you so you can check it out! <br> You can email Jen at yogabyjenn@gmail.com if you would like to show the love and thank her for coming on the show.  <br> <br> <br> <br> Poses that Jen recommends you try out:<br> <a href="http://www.yogajournal.com/pose/downward-facing-dog/">Downward facing Dog</a> , <a href="http://www.yogajournal.com/pose/half-moon-pose/">Half Mood Pose</a>, <a href="http://www.yogajournal.com/pose/fire-log-pose/">Fire Log Pose</a>, <a href="http://www.yogajournal.com/pose/head-to-knee-forward-bend/">Head to knee forward bend</a>, <a href="http://www.yogajournal.com/pose/high-lunge/">High Lunge</a>, <a href="http://www.yogajournal.com/pose/low-lunge/">Low Lunge</a>, <a href="http://www.yogajournal.com/pose/seated-forward-bend/">Seated forward bend</a>, &amp; <a href="http://www.yogajournal.com/pose/tree-pose/">Tree Pose</a><br> <br> Jen's Resource List:<br> Books:<br> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/How-Yoga-Works-Michael-Roach/dp/0976546906/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1424281781&amp;sr=1-5&amp;keywords=how+yoga+works">How Yoga Works</a>- Novel<br> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Relax-Renew-Restful-Stressful-Times/dp/1930485298/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1424281962&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=relax+and+renew+by+judith+lasater">Relax and Renew</a>- Instructional<br> <a href="http://www.sadienardini.com/21-day-yoga-body/">21 Day Yoga Body</a>- Program<br> My Favorite teachers on the Web!<br> Sadie Nardini<br> <a href="http://sadienardini.com/">http://sadienardini.com/</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://sadienardini.com/yoga/free-yoga/">http://sadienardini.com/yoga/free-yoga/</a><br> <br> <br> Also, a couple studio finders for local yoga studios:<br> <a href="http://www3.yogajournal.com/directory/"> http://www3.yogajournal.com/directory/</a><br> <a href="http://www.yogafinder.com/">http://www.yogafinder.com/</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.lululemon.com/community/apps?mnid=mn;community;apps#omfinder_app_info">http://www.lululemon.com/community/apps?mnid=m</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>
