thanks so much for joining us today for another installment of our Teleclass series.

Today's Teleclass is called Yoga for Runners.

It's all about learning the most effective series of postures specifically designed for runners who in general

are primarily interested in yoga, the benefits of yoga, how that can come

into their running. So you know some yoga teachers they'll tell you that in order to practice yoga you need to stop running. So, you know, some yoga teachers, they'll tell you that in order to practice yoga, you need to stop running.

You need to stop lifting weights. You need to stop any kind of strength training at all.

And my opinion is that this is really

advice and you know if you love some other form of exercise other than yoga you should really never stop because it's so rare to love physical activity that you should really embrace that and yoga is great

running is great it's all great and that's why I'm very excited today to be joined

by Van Clayton Powell who is a runner and a yoga student and a yoga teacher to other runners so to learn more

about van please you can go directly to his website via yoga body

it's just great to be with you Lucas well good so is it okay if we just kind of jump right in

with some questions? Perfect. Great so for everyone listening here's what we're

going to cover today. First Van is going to tell us how he got into yoga, teaching yoga specifically for

runners, and his story will probably be very similar to some of yours.

So that's going to be very interesting.
