🏃‍♀️🧘‍♂️ In honour of today's London Marathon, here’s why yoga should be every runner’s not-so-secret sauce — whether you're chasing a PB or just crossing the finish line with a smile.

1. Yoga Unlocks Hidden Energy ⚡️

Running puts repetitive strain on certain muscles, especially hips, hamstrings, calves, and lower back. Over time, tightness in these areas acts like tiny energy leaks. You end up working harder for the same effort.

Yoga restores mobility, balances the body, and opens up those tight areas — meaning you can run faster, longer, and with less fatigue.

2. Yoga Builds Mental Endurance 🧠

Marathon running isn’t just a physical game; it’s a mental marathon too. Breath control, focus, and resilience are key in those tough middle and late miles.

Yoga teaches you how to breathe through discomfort, stay present, and quiet the inner chatter — tools that could make the difference between hitting a wall and breaking through it.

3. Yoga Supercharges Recovery 🛌

Stretching after a run is great, but yoga goes deeper. A well-sequenced yoga practice calms the nervous system, promotes circulation to tired muscles, and encourages the body to switch from “fight or flight” into “rest and repair” mode.

Faster recovery = stronger next run.It’s not just about feeling good today — it’s about running strong tomorrow.

Whether you’re running the London Marathon or cheering from the sidelines, today’s a reminder: Movement is magic. Recovery is essential. And a little yoga goes a long way.
