Yoga with Southern Cross-Country Team

Had a wonderful yoga session this past week with the Southern High School cross-country team at Coach Ellmore’s farm. The weather was absolutely perfect and the student-athletes were focused on their practice.

We worked on everything from range of motion, to strength, to balance & more. Here are some runners doing tree pose.

Each year we get together for a session or two and practice out on the farm – and it is really a great place for it, open and vast. And the team hosts races there as well.

One of the key points for runners is stretching those deep glut & hip muscles that connect to the hamstrings – so we paid special attention there.

Many thanks to Coach Ellmore and Coach Fitzgerald and all the athletes for making this such good session – look forward to the next one!!
