Runners are known for repetition. One stride leads to another and another and in a marathon we are talking about thousands of foot strikes. So many runners have turned to yoga to focus these physical efforts inward. Pure Yoga in New York City has partnered with the New York City Road Runners to create a yoga class specifically for runners.

Runners training for the marathon are taken through a set of fluid yoga poses that concentrate on the muscles used in running from the hamstrings, quads, back and along the outside of the leg. It's a 6-week program that has a gradual build up of poses just like a runner would do as they increase their weekly mileage.
