Yoga for Runners
I enjoyed working with a fun, jolly, game group of runners, many of them new to yoga, at CYCo. this morning. (If you couldn’t make it, the class will be on Yoga Vibes soon; meanwhile, check out the Yoga for Athletes page there, which grows each week!) Here’s what we did, for their reference and…
Southeastern Collegiate Fitness Expo
This past weekend, I had the privilege of teaching at the Southeastern Collegiate Fitness Expo at N.C. State in Raleigh. The expo, which brought together rec center workers from across the Southeast, was held at State’s lovely Carmichael Recreation Complex. I taught three classes: a Yoga for Athletes class, Spin and Yoga, and a master…
D.C., NYC
A few yoga for athletes options for you cosmopolitan East Coasters. I’ll be in Washington, D.C. (well, technically, Chevy Chase) this weekend to lead my intensive on teaching yoga to athletes at the Yoga Fusion Studio. As part of the weekend, I’m offering a 90-minute class open to all athletes—no yoga experience required! It’s this…
Kripalu Postview
As predicted, the participants in my workshop on yoga for athletes at Kripalu were great. We had a huge range of sports and yoga experience, from longtime teachers to first-time yogis. With such a turnout, I’ve scheduled an encore weekend in fall, when the leaves should be glorious and the trails ripe for running. It’ll…
Functional Core Sequence
What a nice group joined me yesterday at Carrboro Yoga for a core-strength workshop! Our theme was finding mountain pose, the neutral and stable alignment of the pelvis and the spine, and holding that even as our arms and legs were moving and our orientation to gravity shifted. As I promised the students, I’m posting…
Christmas Tree Yoga

In honor of the season, we enjoyed tree pose in a number of orientations: on our backs, standing, on our sides, and on our bellies. With 26 bodies and students’ age ranging from the teens to…
Thank You, Wellness Center
It’s Wednesday evening and getting dark, and I’m feeling nostalgic for the class I’ve just retired from: a Yoga for Athletes class at the UNC Wellness Center. I taught the class for the last six years (and also taught indoor cycling there for four). In conjunction with my standing Monday night class at Carrboro Yoga,…
Kripalu, February 2010
The people who traveled to Kripalu to study with me in a weekend intensive on yoga for athletes were uniformly lovely. We had the expected array of runners, triathletes, and yoga teachers, as well as a former collegiate rower, now coaching; a seriously competitive Ultimate Frisbee player; and a woman teaching yoga to a university…
Coffee Table Yoga
Today was my last trip of the season to teach yoga to the UNC football team. They’ve had a good season, which officially ends next Saturday but which will continue to a bowl game. My role is as part of the lift-and-flush workout, in which they do some light weights and running, plus yoga. It’s…
