If you answered mostly D, then you should give ASHTANGA YOGA a try....
|
Ashtanga YogaAshtanga Yoga is a dynamic, athletic and physically demanding practice which synchronises breath and movement to produce an internal heat designed to purify the body.
Ashtanga yoga, with its many vinyasa (defined sequences), is great for trail runners who wish to build core strength and tone the body. The practice is smooth and interrupted and requires focus and coordination. If you like to regularly run on the same trail then you may wish to try Ashtanga Yoga. It does take some practice and co-ordination to get to know the sequences |
If you want to slow down and have bit more variety, you might also like to try HATHA YOGA...

Hatha YogaHatha Yoga focuses on physical and mental strength building exercises and postures and is great for most trail runners as it helps them maintain balance in all aspects of their running. Hatha yoga practice incorporates postures (asanas), breathing practices (pranayama), and relaxation techniques.
Most forms of yoga practiced in the West come under the broad umbrella of Hatha Yoga, including Ashtanga, Iyengar and Bikram Yoga classes. Hatha yoga teachers will usually draw from all these different styles of yoga, depending on their own style of teaching, to provide a balanced yoga class. |
