Take It and Run Thursday: Yoga and Running

This week's sponsor is Kitzzy from the blog http://kitzzyfit.blogspot.com/  and offers this question to ponder and respond to:

I find yoga to be an excellent companion to my running to avoid
injury, improve flexibility, and help relieve sore muscles after a
hard workout or race. Tell us about your experience with yoga as it
relates to running. If you have not tried it, why not? If you have,
did it help? How often do you feature yoga in your weekly workout
regime? What are your favorite yoga poses and routines? Pass on your
recommendations for your favorite yoga DVDs, instructors, podcasts,
online resources, etc.

Share your take on yoga and running with Kitzzy and the Lounge by jumping over to the article and leaving your advice.  But before you do, check out Kitzzy's running story:

Other questions to ponder - Location? Time? Race Expo attendees (guest speakers?)? Shirt design? Get as creative as you want....!

Great question Kitzzy!

I love doing bikram yoga. It is really relaxing and a great alternative to a non-running day! It also helps with flexibility and prevention of injuries. I highly recommend this form of yoga!
