Program Details

Whether you are preparing for a fall marathon, bike tour, hiking trek, or charity walk, yoga can be a great addition to your training.

Endurance sports coach and yoga teacher Sage Rountree will show you how to keep your training in balance. Morning sessions will include a yoga warm-up, workout, and yoga postures for core strength and flexibility. Sage will also lead daily meditation and breathwork to sharpen focus and restorative poses to enhance recovery. Afternoon lecture topics will include

  • Choosing workouts and races to balance your training cycle
  • Planning your training
  • Eating well before, during, and after training
  • Avoiding and managing injuries
  • Mental strategies to put training and competition in perspective.

Group runs will include structured workouts at a variety of intensities, with all paces welcome. You are free to substitute hiking, cycling, or another activity if running doesn’t work for you.
