Yoga for Runners: Building Strength and Mobility
I do not just teach you to run. I teach you to stay injury-free. My yoga flows for runners focus on mobility, core stability, and deep recovery, because FITTER, FASTER, STRONGER starts on the mat.

About this collection
Most people think yoga for runners is just about touching your toes, but it is not. We target your IT band, spine mobility, and deep core stability—the exact areas that take a beating when you are clocking long miles. If you are struggling with stiff hips after a weekend run or tight shoulders from poor posture, these sessions are designed to fix that before it turns into a long-term injury.
Why Runners Need These Specific Flows
Running is high impact, and if you do not have a solid foundation, things break. My sessions are not just gentle stretching. Whether you are prepping for the Bengaluru Marathon or just trying to stay consistent in your 5Ks, we integrate SVYASA-inspired techniques to keep you moving.
- IT Band Relief: We use dedicated sequences to release the tension that causes common runner's knee.
- Core Power: A weak core leads to poor running form. We build stability through Pilates-inspired core routines, not just standard sit-ups.
- Spine & Posture: I often see runners slouching after the first 5km. My flows open up the chest and lengthen the spine to keep you upright and efficient.
How We Train
I run these sessions live online and in-person at our training hubs in KTPO (Whitefield) and Cubbon Park. We keep it real, sometimes using simple props like sticks or chairs to help you get deeper into the stretch. You will leave these sessions feeling capable, not just relaxed. Yoga se he hoga.
