So this is what I decided to do.
You can have the complete Runner鈥檚 Yoga Program. In a format that not only recreates exactly what I teach in Private Sessions. But also provides you with the bonus teaching material you'll be able to use over and over for the rest of your life. All of it for what you would pay just for the 鈥淥ne-Time Membership Fee鈥� of that club - $149.
That's 70% OFF of what it would cost you for a Private Session with me. Plus, unlike with Trainers and Health Clubs ... you never pay again.

vast majority of us stop going to the Health or Fitness Club within months of signing up. (The industry's own figures show this. That's why they try to sell you that long-term membership up front.)
So even though you pay for your Health Club or Studio membership with the best of intentions, convinced that this time you're going to go regularly. You don't. You can't! And the reasons you joined in the first place? - to stretch tight muscles, or build core strength, or lose a little weight, or burn off some stress - come back to haunt you. (Which doesn鈥檛 make you feel any better about yourself.)
So then you decide you'll just do your workout or stretching at home. And you buy that magic exercise machine. Or home-exercise DVD or yoga DVD. Or you sign up for online classes.

You know yo-yo diets aren鈥檛 good for you. Well, yo-yo fitness isn鈥檛 either. And total fitness involves much more than just being able to run fast or pump heavy weights.
As any Professional Athlete will tell you, flexibility plays a HUGE role in both performance and injury prevention. As does balance. Mental focus. And minimizing the damaging effects of stress. And whether you're a Professional Athlete or an Armchair Athlete, you get the most out of life when you cover all those bases.
The problem is 鈥� how do you find the time to get all that done? You've got to include some strength building ... stretching ... cardio ... balance work ... stress management ...

BEAT. Over the years I鈥檝e come across research that indicates we enjoy some very unique benefits when we listen to the rhythm of 60 beats per minute (BPM).
It seems the brain and body respond to this rhythm by becoming alert, focused and calm. Drivers have been shown to drive better when listening to music at this rhythm. Psychologist Dr. George Lozanov used it to dramatically accelerate learning and improve recall. And it has been used to help lower heart rate and blood pressure in anxious patients.聽聽
So I recorded the whole Runner鈥檚 Yoga routine to that special meditative rhythm of 60 BPM. Every breath, every movement flowing to that rhythmic beat. Automatically putting your mind and body into a calm, focused state. Increasing your body awareness. Allowing you to go deeper into the position.
Synchronizing the routine to that beat also meant I was able to ensure that EACH DYNAMIC STRETCH is held for at least 30 seconds. (Studies show this is optimal for increasing your range of motion.) Plus, it allowed me to insert pleasing AUDIO CUES that signal you when to inhale and exhale.
Finally, I spent countless hours writing, recording, and testing the VERBAL DIRECTIONS that talk you through the whole routine - making sure the directions are crystal clear so that you'll be able to easily follow along. (They say a picture鈥檚 worth a thousand words. But words that put the picture in your mind are worth a lot more!)聽
You鈥檙e probably starting to get a sense of all the detail and attention that went into this one-of-a-kind program. So let me tell you Why it鈥檚 called 鈥淩unner鈥檚 Yoga鈥�

Although my background is pretty eclectic, one of the things I鈥檝e done is teach yoga to thousands of students. (Including the Canadian National Snowboard Team, Olympic Champions, and corporate types like VISA and Intrawest.) As a result, I knew there was one group that would benefit from my new program more than almost anyone: Runners.
Runners are subjected to incredible physical and mental stress. The body of a 130-pound runner, for example, absorbs over 600,000 pounds of jarring impact every mile! Every mile!
Can you imagine the effect that has? And not just on the legs. That amount of impact has repercussions throughout the entire body. Jarring the joints 鈥� tightening the muscles 鈥� unbalancing the whole structure 鈥� No wonder nearly 70% of runners will be injured!
And that鈥檚 just the physical stress. Runners are also notorious for having (not all of them, of course) an intense 鈥淭ype A鈥� approach to things. This stressful approach is one of the leading causes of over-training and injury in runners, something I saw time and again in my students. (It was easy to recognize - I'd previously run that way myself!)
So I knew my new program would be perfect for runners. Not just because it can restore balance and flexibility to the whole body. (Although that is often the aspect they initially notice and appreciate the most.) And not just because of the tremendous benefits the breathing techniques and increased body awareness bring to them. But also because it is so short and practical, they鈥檒l actually do it!
So I started teaching runners my new program. In special workshops I called 鈥� 鈥淩unner鈥檚 Yoga Workshops鈥�. (Now you know where the name came from.)
The result? Runners loved it. (And so did the physiotherapists and trainers who work with them!)
