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.

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.

Even-Keel Mind

Darren Rhodes • Hatha

This practice is designed to mellow your mind and strengthen and stretch your entire body in just 20 minutes. After a mild warm-up, move through standing poses to work your legs and open your upper back, then try out a few balance poses to cultivate power poise. Finally, after lifting into bridge and wheel, it's all supine poses right into savasana.
