Balance is practice.

Veerabhadrasana III helps to strengthen the core muscles and makes the leg muscles more shapely.

It is perfect for runners, as it gives agility and vigour. It improves overall balance, posture and focus.

The tricky aspects of the pose are:
- Maintaining square hips
- Finding T shape
- Balancing on 1 leg
- Keeping the back straight
- Correct arms’ position.

Balance isn’t found -it is built.

In our technology-driven world, it is common to experience limited mobility and stiffness as a result of poorly posture and sedentary lifestyle.

Back bends create space where tension once lived. All back bends stimulate the central nervous system and increase ability to bear stress. In Urdhva Dhanurasana the liver and spleen are fully stretched, and therefore can function more effectively. Regular practice of the asana keeps body supple, creates a feeling of vitality and lightness.

Strong runs need supple bodies.

Yoga keeps muscles adequately stretched, joints happy and your miles strong. Regular yoga practice means good balance, mobility and injury prevention. In the long term yoga helps the runners to keep your joints pain-free.

Run hard.
Stretch smart.
