I started doing this sequence about a month ago - since then, three separate injuries/pains (tight hamstring, painful ITB and piriformis) have improved dramatically and I was able to run a 60 mile ultramarathon at the weekend virtually pain-free. I highly recommend this to any runners. Thank you so much for posting!

did you do this before or after your run? Or on the days off.

What a great yoga sequence for runners. That IT band stretch is amazing. I've never been able to find another stretch that targets my IT band so well.

Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover a beginners guide to yoga try Pyzork Dosha Yoga Professor ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got cool results with it.

Right!!! I’ve had IT band syndrome or whatever it’s called recently and that stretch was SENDING me ☺️😊

I've been watching and practicing with this video for almost 2 years after my runs and it neeever gets old or boring! I love your voice the most, so soothing! This sequence of poses and the timely manner is perfect for busy days with a workout squeezed in! Thank you!! Namasté!

Is it better to do the routine before or after running?

First yoga practice I've completed. Short enough for my attention span and long enough that I feel great now!

Excellent on a daily! I’m a long distance runner and this has been a wonderful flow to keep injuries away:) thank you Esther

I wasn't expecting this to be as good as it was. Thank you so much!

I injured myself this year running. My achillies tendinitis got pretty bad and I started seeing a PT specialist. He suggested yoga as a way to free up my general overall tightness, especially in my hips and legs. This has been a great program. I have never done yoga before, but I feel looser and more relaxed after performing this sequence. Thank you very much for your instructive videos.

I've been doing the poses in this video for a few months now before going on my runs and it's really helped ward off knee pain. thanks!

Thank you very much!!!! I did this yoga today after I ran 6 miles,.. I really loved this!, 🙏🙏

brilliant - thank you

Brilliant! Thank you for the workout - I’ve tried and tried to get a decent runners workout over the years, but failed miserably. What I like about this video is the constant speed - you get through it. Hardest the first few times, but then quickly flows as a genuine session. Thanks!

Brilliant! Thanks a lot for this. I've been running for about 18 months and recently spent 4 months preparing for my 1st marathon. Never tried yoga before and a couple of runners recommended it. I had some bad muscle pain in my hips and two sessions with this video before the marathon - and it's gone away. Never had it since. Now try to do this 3 times a week.

I've started training for a half marathon and knew yoga would be the best course for improving my performance. This sequence was amazing and helped me to clear my mind, stretch and relax. Thank you for posting this :] Namaste.

Did this sequence before my run today & easily pushed myself to meet my weekly goals. Thanks so much for sharing this great video with us! :-D

Thank you! I really appreciate the in depth explanations for setting up and maintaining each pose as it’s meant to be done. Bravo!

Love her style of teaching. Fantastic. I would like to see a 60-minute runners yoga!

Hi Esther, I love all your videos. I saved them to my favorites and play them whenever I am practicing. I too am a yoga instructor but I am in the corporate world. Thank you for your teaching and for your unique style. Namaste, Lourdes

This is a short and easy to do sequence. It is perfect for those who may not have time to do a whole hour or 90 minute yoga class. Thank you!

I am not a runner, but I have been doing this routine off-and-on for a couple of years (and consistently for the past 6 months), due to chronic tightness in my hamstrings, calves, and feet. Completing this sequence a few times per week has been life-changing. I've learned to notice when my body needs these stretches, and I look forward to following the video time and time again. I've started to branch out into some of the other videos as well, but this one is a favorite! Thank you, Esther!

Thank you elegant Dutch lady, it works well for me.

I love this moment after doing yoga, when your whole body is so stretched and in Savasana you can feel all part of your body. Marvelous

After numerous painful injuries I decided to actually invest time into prevention, stretching and rolling this year. This video is amazing!! I've attended multiple yoga classes but none have ever had some of these poses for the hips, IT, and hamstring.

Thanks for making this class available online. I have done it twice this week to loosen up after lots of running. Feeling much more mobile now. Thank you!

I've tried SO many routines for runners and this is definitely my favorite. It really stretches the problem areas without being impossible.

I am a runner and wanted to thank you for this sequence. Love the stretches and the pace, namaste!

Best yoga teacher on KZread ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you, Esther!

I've placed this as my post run stretch routine and for me it does the trick. Although I have long legs and really can't get into half of the poses, it doesn't matter too much. Plenty of downward dog time to hit those calves too. Finally, I like the lack of music and Ekhart's minimal direct style. Thanks!

That was so amazing. Exactly what I needed as a runner.

Thank you.. am practicing for Half marathon and have added this too my training. Doing it for 3 times a week.. nd the difference is amazing. Thank you. . Namaste

I had knee pain and ankle pain before this yoga practice, and yes you can tell all the tense and pain was gone after these 25 minutes. Love it to bits.

I have tried 5-6 yoga videos. I like this best. It helps my body a lot especially the day after a long run.

I’ve started this routine during my marathon training 3 years ago and now, after the marathon and two pregnancies, I’m still doing it as a preparation for coming back to running. I love your soft voice, your pace though the video and how the exercise makes me feel afterwards. Thank you so much for this video!

I love this video! I have done it regular for years. Thank you!

Loved this sequence!!!! Perfect cool down after my run. Will be sure to do this again.

Thank you so much for that IT band stretch! Mine are always so tight after I run and I have never found a stretch that is easy to do and works so well. Much appreciated!

Thank you for sharing this training. I previously had muscle and IT band issues when running and began using this video 1-2 times a week. Now I have zero issues or tightness in both IT and hamstrings. Many thanks.

Thank you for this Esther! I had done a short run earlier and, combined with this sequence, my back felt so much better than it had felt in a long time!

Esther, you are a great teacher! I've been using this video after my long runs and my body is getting stronger each time. Thank you!

Absolutely amazing! Although I only run from 30 to 40 minutes 3 to 4 times a week, I could feel the benefit to parts of my body I didn't realize I was not stretching. Thank you so much for this class!

Best stretch the morning after a run. Thanks Esther

This is a wonderful sequence for runners with tight, sore hips and legs! Thank you so much!!

I've been balancing my running with yoga forms and stretches for years. Funny, but this video seems to cover everything I do and that I've felt effective for me personally. Couldn't help but laugh as I watched you do them, Ester. Good to feel validated! Thanks for posting these!

Very nice stretches. Especially the IT band. Love you and your accent, Esther!

I really appreciate the detail and care put into describing how to do every move properly. Very beneficial.

Thank you so much for posting this! I'm doing a 5k training program, and I'd been trying to do other yoga sequences on my cross-training days, but I couldn't stay loyal to those sequences because my legs were so desperate for a stretch! The stretches I was doing between poses were just like the ones in this video! This is exactly what my body wanted, and I feel SO much better!

You're absolutely a good teacher! Thank you Ester!

This workout has helped with my hiking and running, thank you!

Great workout. I'm doing this in the morning a couple times a week and big help with get more flexibility in my hips.

This was great! Definitely the best stretching I've done in a WHILE. Thank you!

That was really great! I didn't even know where my IT band was but have always feared the dreaded runners IT injury! Now I know where it is and how to stretch it:) Thanks so much, I'm going to share with all my runner friends!

Brilliant routine - really appreciate you posting this. Thanks Esther, I think this will really help with my tight hip flexors. Namaste

This is asbolutely amazing! I have been looking for an instructor just like this one! Thank you!

I just discovered i could touch my toes!! i thank yoga for helping me get there :)

This was excellent! I had several long runs over the last few days and my hips were sore - this really helped. Good, clear instructions, nice pacing.

i love this video, it's my favourite yoga sequence. i don't run much anymore due to injury but this can be done regardless of running or not! Thank you Esther.

Very enjoyable! So kind of you to offer these for free! :)

Wow. I wish I had known about this when I started running. Amazing yoga. I do this two times a week and a similar warm up routine on your channel. Amazing the benefits. Makes my run injury free and truly enjoyable.

Lovely yoga 🧘‍♀️!! Thank you very much ❤️!🙏

This entire session is excellent. I especially like and needed the stretch for the ITB and the stretches for opening the hips. Well done Yogi Ekhart.

Brilliant sequence. So good and relaxing for runners. Thank you!

Dankjewel Esther!

Esther, this was a great routine, as are all your videos. They really help me out, thanks so much!

That IT band stretch is 😩😩🗡.... But in the best most needed way. Thank you 🙏🏻

Much appreciation. This got right to all those tight muscles around the hips.

Feeling good after this, I'm sure it'll help me as well with my 10k shortly. Thank you, it also taught me some stretches I've never done before 😊x

Love the classes Esther , it really improved my running and also i have less back pain

I really enjoyed this! I'm new to yoga, so this was a perfect intro. I loved Ester's voice, very soothing! I also didn't feel bad when I couldn't get deeply into a stretch! Will definitely do again and am already recommending to friends!!

A lovely practice! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I plan to make it part of my regular running routine.

Lovely practice- thank you!

thanks, this was a really nice routine to do after a run.

Thank you so much! I just started running and I felt so stiff until I did this workout.

Excellent sequence. Just subscribed to your website and love all the programs and information.

Thank you Esther! This seems to be the best way for me to stretch my IT : )

this is great excercise!!!thank you!

I am a high-quantitative runner, no ultras but 100k per Week, average pace 5:00 min/km. I try to balance running with half-advanced yoga, but it is pretty tough at the moment. A challange currently is to determine how much loaded the thighs under various trainig-circumstances are. I can say for now, never do yoga (half-advanced with the supta-Vajdrasana as top practice) before running, even if I take 8h betweencan still hurt a lot. The other way round, running before yoga is better, but also there I leave at least 2h rest time before the excercises. One time it did a tough yoga workout right after running, and gosh, my thighs were like joists afterwards. I have not found the right level for now, so I can do both sports in the manner I want to, except from the two general rules I mentioned above. I searched half the web, but found no like-minded people, so if anyone reads this and have some tips how to combine both in the best way, let us exchange. (I hope it is alright for you, esther, I dont want to hijack your chanel, just think it could be a interface to connect each other with best regards)
