I started doing this sequence about a month ago - since then, three separate injuries/pains (tight hamstring, painful ITB and piriformis) have improved dramatically and I was able to run a 60 mile ultramarathon at the weekend virtually pain-free. I highly recommend this to any runners. Thank you so much for posting!

[@IMGREENJELLO]

Elizabeth Halley Awesome!! Ultras are the best!!

[@wez1975]

did you do this before or after your run? Or on the days off.

[@ultratoneytrainer]

Excellent on a daily! I’m a long distance runner and this has been a wonderful flow to keep injuries away:) thank you Esther

[@sarahgrant8011]

First yoga practice I've completed. Short enough for my attention span and long enough that I feel great now!

[@brianabracamonte8115]

I've been watching and practicing with this video for almost 2 years after my runs and it neeever gets old or boring! I love your voice the most, so soothing! This sequence of poses and the timely manner is perfect for busy days with a workout squeezed in! Thank you!! Namasté!

[@ninfarose]

Great ❤️🍊🍊🍊 please dearest friend take a little look at my dance funny joyful luxurious videos with sparrows 🥰🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

[@arealslowpoke]

I've been doing the poses in this video for a few months now before going on my runs and it's really helped ward off knee pain. thanks!

[@danielcentilli7875]

I injured myself this year running. My achillies tendinitis got pretty bad and I started seeing a PT specialist. He suggested yoga as a way to free up my general overall tightness, especially in my hips and legs. This has been a great program. I have never done yoga before, but I feel looser and more relaxed after performing this sequence. Thank you very much for your instructive videos.

[@caroletomaszewicz737]

Brilliant! Thank you for the workout - I’ve tried and tried to get a decent runners workout over the years, but failed miserably. What I like about this video is the constant speed - you get through it. Hardest the first few times, but then quickly flows as a genuine session. Thanks!

[@PeterPaoPao]

Thank you elegant Dutch lady, it works well for me.

[@redemptionofthenerd]

I wasn't expecting this to be as good as it was. Thank you so much!

[@stedlouie]

What a great yoga sequence for runners. That IT band stretch is amazing. I've never been able to find another stretch that targets my IT band so well.

[@Comisioane_pe_pilot_automat]

Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover a beginners guide to yoga try Pyzork Dosha Yoga Professor ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got cool results with it.

[@courtneyjohnson9895]

I completely agree!

[@rachelw821]

Right!!! I’ve had IT band syndrome or whatever it’s called recently and that stretch was SENDING me ☺️😊

[@mollypapier]

Love her style of teaching. Fantastic. I would like to see a 60-minute runners yoga!

[@josyandrade8518]

Thank you very much!!!! I did this yoga today after I ran 6 miles,.. I really loved this!, 🙏🙏

[@Ekhartyoga]

brilliant - thank you

[@scuesme]

Did this sequence before my run today & easily pushed myself to meet my weekly goals. Thanks so much for sharing this great video with us! :-D

[@Raf_Mac]

Brilliant! Thanks a lot for this. I've been running for about 18 months and recently spent 4 months preparing for my 1st marathon. Never tried yoga before and a couple of runners recommended it. I had some bad muscle pain in my hips and two sessions with this video before the marathon - and it's gone away. Never had it since. Now try to do this 3 times a week.

[@LourdRami]

Hi Esther, I love all your videos. I saved them to my favorites and play them whenever I am practicing. I too am a yoga instructor but I am in the corporate world. Thank you for your teaching and for your unique style. Namaste, Lourdes

[@ChrisNarbone]

Great workout. I'm doing this in the morning a couple times a week and big help with get more flexibility in my hips.

[@gosiaw.945]

I love this moment after doing yoga, when your whole body is so stretched and in Savasana you can feel all part of your body. Marvelous

[@bellavasquez9805]

That was so amazing. Exactly what I needed as a runner.

[@rachelw821]

Thank you! I really appreciate the in depth explanations for setting up and maintaining each pose as it’s meant to be done. Bravo!

[@Ekhartyoga]

Thanks Rachel!

[@ninfarose]

Agreeee 🖤🖤🤍💗💖🌈 Much appreciation from Mottola south of Italy 🌹🌹🌹🌹 please dearest friend take a little look at my dance funny joyful luxurious videos 💗♥️💚💙

[@Ekhartyoga]

[@Hubboe]

Thank you this is a very complete routine.

[@kimberlybagley616]

Great video! Thank you so much!

[@rmariapm]

Is it better to do the routine before or after running?

[@nandangandao7756]

You're absolutely a good teacher! Thank you Ester!

[@tytilghman9428]

I've started training for a half marathon and knew yoga would be the best course for improving my performance. This sequence was amazing and helped me to clear my mind, stretch and relax. Thank you for posting this :] Namaste.

[@abbiesommer4611]

Absolutely love this yoga sequence! I’ve had some issues with my IT band and I love that there’s a stretch included for that!

[@edwardmorbius2019]

This workout has helped with my hiking and running, thank you!

[@kristadittler6076]

This was great! Definitely the best stretching I've done in a WHILE. Thank you!

[@alexandraspiegel7492]

Loved this sequence!!!! Perfect cool down after my run. Will be sure to do this again.

[@SpaceLifeMD]

This is asbolutely amazing! I have been looking for an instructor just like this one! Thank you!

[@XInvida]

It's so good to see a longer video with you on here again! ^_^

[@blessedrebecca1]

After numerous painful injuries I decided to actually invest time into prevention, stretching and rolling this year. This video is amazing!! I've attended multiple yoga classes but none have ever had some of these poses for the hips, IT, and hamstring.

[@BrindaBiswas]

Brilliant sequence. So good and relaxing for runners. Thank you!

[@theboywondered]

I've placed this as my post run stretch routine and for me it does the trick. Although I have long legs and really can't get into half of the poses, it doesn't matter too much. Plenty of downward dog time to hit those calves too. Finally, I like the lack of music and Ekhart's minimal direct style. Thanks!

[@ScribbleTunes]

Best yoga teacher on KZbin ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you, Esther!

[@tobyglynn]

You're the best Esther! Namaste

[@k10herrera]

Another great practice just what I've been needing. Thank you for posting :)

[@EmilyBernath]

I am a runner and wanted to thank you for this sequence. Love the stretches and the pace, namaste!

[@kristaclark7290]

I've tried SO many routines for runners and this is definitely my favorite. It really stretches the problem areas without being impossible.

[@creativestranger]

Esther, this was a great routine, as are all your videos. They really help me out, thanks so much!

[@ElizabethSpitznagelRose]

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing this yoga flow.

[@shiraflowers3116]

A lovely practice! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I plan to make it part of my regular running routine.

[@gianajowers1460]

Very nice stretches. Especially the IT band. Love you and your accent, Esther!

[@josyandrade8518]

Lovely yoga 🧘‍♀️!! Thank you very much ❤️!🙏

[@edenmuriel1021]

I have been doing a lot more running lately so this yoga was perfect. Thanks!

[@chiragrao15]

Thank you.. am practicing for Half marathon and have added this too my training. Doing it for 3 times a week.. nd the difference is amazing. Thank you. . Namaste

[@brianlugenbuhl3826]

I’ve been doing this session for over 5 years. I still find it one of the best stretches for the legs.

[@Ekhartyoga]

Great thanks Brian!

[@limewolf3]

I just discovered i could touch my toes!! i thank yoga for helping me get there :)

[@fruitkid4759]

Thank you very much , i feel great! after doing this for the first time :)

[@arielgould7421]

Thank you this was great!

[@jenniferkramerarttherapyco3554]

I am not a runner, but I have been doing this routine off-and-on for a couple of years (and consistently for the past 6 months), due to chronic tightness in my hamstrings, calves, and feet. Completing this sequence a few times per week has been life-changing. I've learned to notice when my body needs these stretches, and I look forward to following the video time and time again. I've started to branch out into some of the other videos as well, but this one is a favorite! Thank you, Esther!

[@Ekhartyoga]

That's fantastic to hear thank you - so happy to hear it has helped!

[@claudiamc3363]

Love the classes Esther , it really improved my running and also i have less back pain

[@gdantonio8562]

Thanks for this great video. I feel like i have cement blocks for legs but am starting to notice an improvement in my motion.

[@thebeanpod1]

This is a wonderful sequence for runners with tight, sore hips and legs! Thank you so much!!

[@amykathleen19]

This is a short and easy to do sequence. It is perfect for those who may not have time to do a whole hour or 90 minute yoga class. Thank you!

[@joshhand3280]

I just did this video for the first time and loved it!

[@ashwiniganapathi8256]

Can't thank you enough for these wonderful tutorials Esther!! I am a runner & I have benefited immensly through your videos. Keep them coming..Great job :)

[@quyenluong318]

I had knee pain and ankle pain before this yoga practice, and yes you can tell all the tense and pain was gone after these 25 minutes. Love it to bits.

[@asagabrielsson8100]

I love this video! I have done it regular for years. Thank you!

[@oliviashuel9200]

This was GREAT!!! Thank you !!!

[@nataliadewes5414]

Absolutely amazing! Although I only run from 30 to 40 minutes 3 to 4 times a week, I could feel the benefit to parts of my body I didn't realize I was not stretching. Thank you so much for this class!

[@factsnfiction6699]

Thank you Esther! This seems to be the best way for me to stretch my IT : )

[@OhThatsSoPunny]

Thank you so much for that IT band stretch! Mine are always so tight after I run and I have never found a stretch that is easy to do and works so well. Much appreciated!

[@mariedominic8384]

I really appreciate the detail and care put into describing how to do every move properly. Very beneficial.

[@tonytunzat]

Esther, you are a great teacher! I've been using this video after my long runs and my body is getting stronger each time. Thank you!

[@patymayto]

Excellent yoga practice!! Thank you very much !!

[@emilechang5882]

Dankjewel Esther!

[@jamesliong7102]

Thx so much it actually helps a lot

[@ravensky33]

she is a get to the point relaxing instructor. 5 stars for sure

[@caroline9902]

I’ve started this routine during my marathon training 3 years ago and now, after the marathon and two pregnancies, I’m still doing it as a preparation for coming back to running. I love your soft voice, your pace though the video and how the exercise makes me feel afterwards. Thank you so much for this video!

[@cabby0120]

This entire session is excellent. I especially like and needed the stretch for the ITB and the stretches for opening the hips. Well done Yogi Ekhart.

[@Calmintuition]

Perfect! I love your videos! You are amazing, I would love to have a class with someone like you!

[@yogawithheini]

Thank you for this Esther! I had done a short run earlier and, combined with this sequence, my back felt so much better than it had felt in a long time!

[@chriseland4494]

Brilliant routine - really appreciate you posting this. Thanks Esther, I think this will really help with my tight hip flexors. Namaste

[@JoshuahVincent]

Thanks for making this class available online. I have done it twice this week to loosen up after lots of running. Feeling much more mobile now. Thank you!

[@Ekhartyoga]

You're so welcome!

[@samanthashears5665]

I really enjoyed this! I'm new to yoga, so this was a perfect intro. I loved Ester's voice, very soothing! I also didn't feel bad when I couldn't get deeply into a stretch! Will definitely do again and am already recommending to friends!!

[@friendoffrancis]

Thank you so much! I just started running and I felt so stiff until I did this workout.

[@jiggaguilar]

That was really great! I didn't even know where my IT band was but have always feared the dreaded runners IT injury! Now I know where it is and how to stretch it:) Thanks so much, I'm going to share with all my runner friends!

[@ideatrack777]

Very enjoyable! So kind of you to offer these for free! :)

[@flerbid]

Thank you so much for sharing this practice :)

[@coachrolaa]

Feeling good after this, I'm sure it'll help me as well with my 10k shortly. Thank you, it also taught me some stretches I've never done before 😊x

[@lucelle76]

this was lovely yoga- i gotta check out more of your videos- thank you

[@sayuritakeuchi9769]

this is great excercise!!!thank you!

[@AlignmentCoaching]

I've been balancing my running with yoga forms and stretches for years. Funny, but this video seems to cover everything I do and that I've felt effective for me personally. Couldn't help but laugh as I watched you do them, Ester. Good to feel validated! Thanks for posting these!

[@taylorcallicrate6164]

thanks, this was a really nice routine to do after a run.

[@yyyuuuiii0102]

Wonderful exercise ! thank you so much !

[@cousinbebop]

This was excellent, thank you

[@RP-we1rs]

Fantastic! Thanks

[@JCassish]

Thanks so much! This is great!

[@lindseygray9205]

Wow! I love this. Thank you :)

[@scottsoward]

Thank you for sharing this training. I previously had muscle and IT band issues when running and began using this video 1-2 times a week. Now I have zero issues or tightness in both IT and hamstrings. Many thanks.

[@nottilthursday]

Thank you so much for posting this! I'm doing a 5k training program, and I'd been trying to do other yoga sequences on my cross-training days, but I couldn't stay loyal to those sequences because my legs were so desperate for a stretch! The stretches I was doing between poses were just like the ones in this video! This is exactly what my body wanted, and I feel SO much better!

[@ericaweissholman8342]

This was excellent! I had several long runs over the last few days and my hips were sore - this really helped. Good, clear instructions, nice pacing.

[@JackieOstrowicki]

Great runners sequence!

[@olttm]

Best stretch the morning after a run. Thanks Esther

[@Ekhartyoga]

Thanks Kevin

[@gpen6626]

I'm a runner and I love this practice!

[@barbi520]

Excellent sequence. Just subscribed to your website and love all the programs and information.

[@treefrog2108]

nice. I was looking for something like this. thanks

[@holenyohead]

Thank you for this routine.

[@Alice_Walker]

That IT band stretch is 😩😩🗡.... But in the best most needed way. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@etagned]

Much appreciation. This got right to all those tight muscles around the hips.

[@taweeratanasiwadune5251]

I have tried 5-6 yoga videos. I like this best. It helps my body a lot especially the day after a long run.

[@Ekhartyoga]

That's quite the compliment! Thank you so much Taweeratana. :)

[@janiceinspiringchange-holi5407]

this is great! thank you!
