Range of Motion for Runners

Hatha with Darren Rhodes

Unlace your running shoes and hop on your mat to target common areas of tightness after a run. This program is designed to mitigate the effects of repetitive running motion that often result in injury or immobility. You’ll focus on precise alignment and safe stretching of your feet, ankles, calves, hips, quads, hamstrings, and low back. It’s perfect between runs or anytime you need more flexibility, strength, or mobility in your routine.

Create a Strong Foundation

Darren Rhodes • Hatha

After 3 sets of sun salutations move into standing poses for the duration of class. Each standing pose is held for 45 seconds to create a strong foundation; an invaluable pose asset for more advanced postures. If 45 seconds proves to be too long for any of these standing poses simply rest and recharge in mountain pose. To achieve balance, one must be as strong as they are flexible, and as flexible as they are strong.

Get Steady

Darren Rhodes • Hatha

Take time out of your day to feel more grounded with this steady-paced, strengthening sequence. Begin by tuning inward, taking notice of your breath. Warm your body with a cat/cow sequence and thunder bolt arms, moving on to plank and invigorating backbends like locust and cobra. Practice dynamic hip opening lunge variations and stretch your quads with pigeon prep. Class concludes with a supine series of postures like bridge, reclined mountain and gentle twists. Props Suggested: A block.

Endurance Boost

Darren Rhodes • Vinyasa Flow

This quick, sweat-inducing flow is heavy on strengthening standing poses and the endurance-building transitions between them. Get moving right away with a fast-paced sequence including crocodile crawling, warrior 3, twisted monkey, and humble warrior flows, then come down to your mat for a brief savasana.
