Become a Better Runner with Yoga
Running can be a stress-burning, outdoors-exploring, heart-pumping source of fun—but it’s also monotonous, with the forward motion repeatedly taxing the same exact muscles, mile after mile. This is why smart runners rest, stretch, and cross train to strengthen other muscles, to increase flexibility, and to prevent injuries. The challenge is to maximize running time while still squeezing

Buti Yoga
Go ahead, judge. We do shake our booty, often in minimal clothing, and the founder is a lean blonde celebrity trainer named Bizzy Gold. Obviously not real yoga. Obviously shallow.

River Yoga
“Push back into child’s pose,” our instructor says. Her soothing yoga voice engages us to soften muscles and minds as we settle our hips over our heels, arms extended out in front of us. “Let go of the day behind you,” she encourages. I had already let the day go as soon as we made
Yoga for Climbers: Poses to Add to Your Rockside Ritual
Yoga for climbers can be active, gentle or a combination of both, depending on whether it is used for cross-training, recovery or just warm-up. Climbers have their own rockside rituals, and many stretches will be variations of what yogis recognize from practice. Even in a simple sun salutation, which is probably the most well-known series of
