Thank-you Adi, you hit upon everything I need for recovery/preparation for ski touring and any other heavy activities that are hard on the knees, hips, and large muscle groups. I have relied on this class to repair my body countless times and really feel the benefit.

Challenging for tight hammies & quads. Felt great the next day. Really noticed how good my knees felt. Thanks for another great class Adi!

I am a distance runner with a torn meniscus in one knee that occasionally gives me grief (yoga helps, though!) and this class has almost a magical ability to make things much better. Also, this is quite a soothing class--perhaps the longer-held pigeon pose near the end had something to do with this.

This isn't one of Adi's more gracefully, beautiful sequences, but - WOW!...

This isn't one of Adi's more gracefully, beautiful sequences, but - WOW! - it sure gets the job done. I admit i was a bit skeptical of how it would strengthen my usually very sore knees, but it sure did! I cycle one hour every day, and run on average 10km a week. My legs have a permanent dull ache and stiffness - but after doing this class just once, all that has momentarily disappeared! (for now!) The class itself is not technically difficult, but it will be a challenge if you have tight hammies or hip flexors. Adi is constantly focussing on keeping the stretches appropriate to your specific needs and injuries. This is important because people who run/cycle a lot tend to push themselves too much - it's nice to be reminded to not over-strain once in a while! The class is built around lots of deep lunges, and a pigeon series at the end. I personally really liked the dancing shiva variations, and was surprised to find they are not as difficult to do as it looks!

Like a huge yawn for my body, it was a perfect class!!!

I really enjoyed the class but the shadows sometimes were very dark where could not see as well and sometimes it sounded like the microphone went softer and could barely hear.

thanks!

I've probably done this class about five times now and I think it is simply spot on. I started running earlier this year and this class is so good at balancing the body after a run. Thank you so much, Adi!

Ran my first 10K yesterday and this is exactly what my sore legs and body needed. Great class, Adi, thank you.

This is my go-to class for keeping my body in-line for running. I especially love the extra-attention paid to the quads and knees. Great way to stretch out after a run, or to prep the day before a race.

Great opening in the front of the hips and hamstrings: Lots of variations of Eka Pada Rajakapotasana (pigeon) and variations on anjaliasana (low lunge) and a two different versions of Natarajasana (dancer). Also includes a fair amount of forward bending and back bending, which really complemented the intense work in the front hip flexors. Pretty challenging at times, and a great class!

This class ends with a lengthy pigeon sequence on each side. Instead of doing a variation on each side and going back and forth, Adi goes through several variations on the same side consecutively. This really enhances deepness. Also a similar situation with hero that lets you really settle in.

I thought this was really well done. I am an intermediate practitioner and some of the variations were new to me. I could have used a bit more detailed explanation of some of the positioning for the poses (I had to look up a few times from the mat to check and it probably would have helped if the camera had zoomed in a bit more at times,also). This is not a class that generates a lot of heat but it is a lovely post-run stretch.

I spend alot of time on the computer and driving. This is one of my favorite calsses to counter all that sitting and hunching forward. Thanks again!

Thanks for another amazing class, Adi!

Thank you for the reminder of why I practice.

This was the first yogatoday.com class that I've done. I mostly rely on verbal cues and found them difficult to understand at times and had to look at the screen to see what the participants were doing. Otherwise, very enjoyable (and much needed).

A great hip opener routine. It's a must for any runner.

Enjoyed it

Congratulations, again a great class. Beautiful variations, and even if demanding, Adi never makes you feel she is pussing you and manages to keep the spirit of a yoga practice. Bravo. estibaliz, from Spain

For anyone with super-tight hammies like me, this is a great class to loosen up inbetween runs - good job, Adi !

I loved this lesson - felt so good afterwards! I really noticed a difference in my hips and, as someone with knee problems, really appreciated the attention this workout gave to that part of my body. Another great lesson. Thanks again, Adi.

Excellent stretches, really felt like I was doing something good.

I learned a few new asanas. Nice tempo

I didn't realize just how tight I was!! Wow!! This did the trick.

I'm not a runner, but I walk a lot and have been feeling tension in my legs lately. This was just what I needed. Adi was fantastic, as always.

This class begins with warm ups and sun salutations. It then moves into some lunges and hip and hamstring opening poses. It concludes with an intense pigeon pose. It a fantastic class-- I liked it a lot because it did some different poses that switched it up but still had Adi's great teaching style. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants to open up those hips, quads, chest and hamstrings!

Very nice class.. Adi...thank you very much although I have done half way after 25 mins, the system slow down and unable to continue until the end.. Yesterday was also the same.. Have a pleasant midweek :)

This class gets deep into the Quads - which is such a nice change (not always focusing on the hips and hamstrings). There is a lengthy hold of one legged pigeon with multiple variations near the end that is INTENSE! Fun class - great for runners, hikers, and cyclists!

Mahalo nui loa!!!

Great routine! Before working out, my achilles, plantar, calves and hamstring were very tight. Adi's yoga stretched my abilities and my limbs...I felt much better. Thanks!

I'm training for a half marathon and running more than usual. This class gave me total relief!

I finished an 18mile run (training for my first marathon!) and arrived at home stiff and really sore. Within 30 mins I could hardly walk. I decided to try this class and I can't believe how amazing I feel! The pain is gone! I was thinking I needed a stretch but this is a miracle! I immediately called my running partner and told her she needed this video! Well done! I know I have several exclamation points, but it's exactly how I feel!!! :)

The day after a long distance run, I put on this video to help open up my hips, hamstrings, and thighs. It is the best stretching I have done to help my body heal from running for a long time. Thank you, Adi!

And, I love pidgeon at the end!
