Sarah and Dimity get their “om” on with noted yogini and triathlon coach Sage Rountree, author of “The Athlete’s Guide to Yoga.” The gals discuss the best type of yoga for runners (you Type A’s might not like the answer), and they touch on the hot button issue of hot yoga. Sage shares easy, post-run stretches that’ll open your hips and release your lower back (oh, yeah, right there!). And Sarah feels a release: Sage gives her permission to stop fretting about her tight hips and hamstrings.

This was a wonderful podcast. just listened to it yesterday on my first run after I took my first week off running in 3 years while on vacation in mexico. It really made me realize that it is important to go back to Yoga as cross training not only for the benefits I will get from it into my running, but also, to get back into the practice and accept my body and limitations with grace and joy. I jsut bought Sage’s book and cannot wait to read it!
This was a really good podcast. I love Sage’s perspective on the interrelation of yoga and running, and I feel inspired to look up some of her books now. I’ve been doing yoga for eight years and have “always” been a runner but never thought too much about the two in conjunction. Thanks.
