YOGA FOR KILLER LEGS !!

[media id=38 width=500 height=400]

Yoga refers to traditional physical and mental disciplines originating in India. The word is associated with meditative practices in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. In Hinduism, it also refers to one of the six orthodox (āstika) schools of Hindu philosophy, and to the goal toward which that school directs its practices.^[ In Jainism it refers to the sum total of all activities—mental, verbal and physical.

Major branches of yoga in Hindu philosophy include Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Hatha Yoga. Raja Yoga, compiled in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and known simply as yoga in the context of Hindu philosophy, is part of the Samkhya tradition. Many other Hindu texts discuss aspects of yoga, including Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Shiva Samhita and various Tantras.

The Sanskrit word yoga has many meanings,and is derived from the Sanskrit root yuj, meaning “to control”, “to yoke” or “to unite”. Translations include “joining”, “uniting”, “union”, “conjunction”, and “means”. Outside India, the term yoga is typically associated with Hatha Yoga and its asanas (postures) or as a form of exercise. Someone who practices yoga or follows the yoga philosophy is called a Yogi.

History of yoga

The Vedic Samhitas contain references to ascetics, while ascetic practices (tapas) are referenced in the Brāhmaṇas (900 to 500 BCE), early commentaries on the Vedas. Several seals discovered at Indus Valley Civilization (c. 3300–1700 B.C.E.) sites depict figures in positions resembling a common yoga or meditation pose, showing “a form of ritual discipline, suggesting a precursor of yoga”, according to archaeologist Gregory Possehl. Some type of connection between the Indus Valley seals and later yoga and meditation practices is speculated upon by many scholars, though there is no conclusive evidence.

Techniques for experiencing higher states of consciousness in meditation were developed by the shramanic traditions and in the Upanishadic tradition.

While there is no clear evidence for meditation in pre-Buddhist early Brahminic texts, Wynne argues that formless meditation originated in the Brahminic tradition, based on strong parallels between Upanishadic cosmological statements and the meditative goals of the two teachers of the Buddha as recorded in the early Buddhist texts.However, there is no clear evidence that such teachers, Alara Kalama and Udraka Ramaputra, belonged to the Brahminical tradition, as they might be Jains. He mentions less likely possibilities as well. Having argued that the cosmological statements in the Upanishads also reflect a contemplative tradition, he argues that the Nasadiya Sukta contains evidence for a contemplative tradition, even as early as the late Rg Vedic period.

The Buddhist texts are probably the earliest texts describing meditation techniques. They describe meditative practices and states which had existed before the Buddha as well as those which were first developed within Buddhism. In Hindu literature, the term “yoga” first occurs in the Katha Upanishad, where it refers to control of the senses and the cessation of mental activity leading to a supreme state. Important textual sources for the evolving concept of Yoga are the middle Upanishads, (ca. 400 BCE), the Mahabharata including the Bhagavad Gita (ca. 200 BCE), and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

Run Yoga Run

Check out this routine designed to release hamstring, quad, and hip flexor tension. Some knee and shin therapy thrown in for good measure too. If you must run, do some yoga too!

“Yoga is for flexible people. And since I can’t bend like a pretzel I guess that leaves me out.” In fact, tight, inflexible runners and ‘wanna be’ runners stand to gain the most from many of the classical Hatha yoga postures. Although one might think yoga and running are diabolically opposed to one another on the exercise spectrum, the two make an excellent marriage of strength and flexibility.

Yoga’s internal focus will draw your attention to what is going on with your body rather than be externally focused on winning or finishing the race. Runners, and any athlete for that matter, benefit greatly from practicing yoga by building and balancing strength, increasing range of motion, and training the body and mind to work synergistically.

Run Yoga Run is designed from my own experience as a runner and years of practicing yoga. Each week the focus is designed as mini-workshop – working progressively to create greater function in the body from the shoulders and hips to the knees and SI Joints all the while learning to let go of needing to ‘get somewhere’! Yoga is not intended to replace your usual physical training but rather complement it. Improvement comes with time, patience and practice.

Classes are small (maximum 8 students), enabling a free-flow discussion about function, form and alignment. To benefit from the experience, practicing at home is expected. At the end of the 10-week series, you will have learned a yoga sequence that will serve you wherever you are in your athletic endeavours.

Yoga has been lauded by not only runners but athletes around the globe including golfers, cyclists, hockey players, and swimmers, to name a few. These are some of the key benefits for athletes who practice yoga:

Improved range of motion and muscle tone

Increased flexibility, strength and stamina

Reduced stress and tension

Able to ‘lean in’ to challenges with greater ease

An ability to stay focused and balanced

To become more relaxed and refreshed

Who’s it for?
Athletes who want to prevent strains and other injury and reduce the muscle tension caused by intense, targeted workouts.

For mature exercisers, who want to maintain and, where possible, improve the elasticity and flexibility of their joints and the efficiency of their muscles.

For people who want to relax with a pleasant exercise that’s non-invasive but still produces results for your physical condition.

For newcomers to physical activity, in order to increase their ability to move and help get themselves into a more active lifestyle: the more movement they’re able to do, the easier it will be to tackle all the other options available in your club.
