3 Yoga Poses I WIsh I Knew When I Started Running I fell in love with running while training for a half marathon a decade ago, around the same time I ramped up my yoga practice. The meditative aspect combined with the steady build in endurance got me hooked. I never prioritized proper recovery after running and as a result would have tight hips and calves, and stiff ankles and knees afterwards. Here are 3 yoga poses I wish I knew when I first started running. 1️⃣ Anjaneyesana (low lunge): Lengthens the hamstrings and releases tension in the front of the hips 2️⃣ Skandasana (side lunge): Relaxes the muscles around the pelvis, stretches the ankles, and strengthens the knees 3️⃣ Prasarita Padottanasana (wide leg forward fold): Decompresses the spine, improves blood circulation and stretches the calves. Try these after your next run to help you recover! . . . .
