Did you know our Tuesday lunchtime vinyasa flow (dynamic) yoga teacher, Katie, is a runner?

Here are some words from her and how yoga supports her running:

"I have been practising yoga on and off for most of my adult life, and I started running about six years ago. At first, I was interested in both for their physical benefits - yoga for flexibility, and running for fitness. But both ended up having a massive impact on my mental health and emotional well being - I’m a happier person because of them! And I can’t imagine doing one without the other.

I’m currently training for my sixth marathon in September, and yoga is as important in my plan as the miles on my feet and sessions in the gym. Running puts a lot of stress on your body, and yoga can help to ease stiffness and soreness. Working on strength and mobility can also help you run better, and so reduce the risk of getting injured.

"Runners have a bit of a reputation for skipping their stretches(!). Yoga makes it fun with the added benefit of bringing a bit of calm to your day (and maybe helping you sleep better!) Active recovery and rest are just as important as all the other aspects of training, as this is when your body repairs and adapts.

I would say my personal practice and classes are on the more ‘chilled out’ end of the vinyasa spectrum. I’m flexible for a runner, but not especially for a yoga teacher. I prefer to focus on finding comfortable length in the muscles, and I might throw a bit of core and glute strength in too!

Are you a running or aspiring runner keen to support your running practice? Why not join Katie's Tuesday 12.30pm-1.15pm lunchtime yoga sessions with us in studio or online (and the huge range of other yoga classes we offer which can also support running).

The Berkhamsted Walk is back!! In a break from tradition it's in September and on the other side of the valley 😮

Whilst it has been a disappointing year for events and fundraising, we are delighted to announce that we will be putting on a smaller version of the Berkhamsted Walk on Sunday 19th September 2021!

So, we ask you to get your best walking boots on and join us to celebrate the changing of the seasons, whilst raising money for disadvantaged children who so badly need our support.

The walk will be slightly different to our normal event – there will be one 12-mile route, but you will be able to walk as little or as much of it as you like – and join the route wherever suits you best. As usual, the route will be marked, and we will be providing maps – we are also aiming to have one checkpoint available.

In a break with Berkhamsted Walk tradition, we are taking the opportunity to explore the other side of Berkhamsted so we hope you will join us in a glorious autumnal walk and help support The Children’s Society and its vital work.

More information to follow!
