It is a perfect compliment to any workout routine.
 
I am intrigued. Basic Yoga sessions range from 40 to 90minutes long. Session structures vary. My own session consists of sun salutations, followed by warriors and then floor yoga. This has become my regular  routine and it has worked for me.  I do not do this everyday, however,  I have been blessed enough to have the available time at least 4 times a week. I am not a professional athlete either, nor  am I trying to loose weight. I do it because it makes me feel good and I just love the practice of yoga! I would like my practice refined to 30 minutes and able to do it all, mind, body and spirit!
 
 I am really impressed by what I understand of this program. I have asked a girlfriend to start a yoga practice. She has been trying to loose weight and has a real good system which consists of a low carb, high protein diet and a 2 mile walk, which she does every evening. She has managed to loose a considerable amount of weight. I am so proud of her. However, she suffers from headaches and is always stressed! I have asked her on numerous occasions if she stretches and does a Yoga routine? Her response is that she does not have the time! Understandably, my girlfriend has children and runs a daycare from  her home!
 
 Runner’s Yoga  is ideally for people like my girlfriend. People who are serious about their workout but do not have the time to do yoga. It is also for the beginner or the experienced Yogi. The benefits of Yoga in a workout routine could be easily implemented.
 
Runner’s Yoga stretches, balances, aligns and strengthens the whole body. It helps heal injuries, improves ones range of motion, focus and athletic performance. Thus professional athletes add it to their regimen.  One is calmer, stronger and more confident. Happier, because that is what Yoga does. It makes you happy!
 
So where does this programme come from?
Van Clayton Powell, a registered Psychiatric Nurse who has spent years in Asia doing martial arts, yoga, meditation and Ayurveda, has developed this system. He is also the founder of Mind, Body, Fitness INC. He is a respected member in yoga circles. I am impressed. Powell decided to present his routine in a comprehensive set of  step-by-step, second-by-second, breath-by-breath audio visual modules. This routine is for both the beginner and the experienced Yogi!
 
So why not try it out?
 
See if it is worth the hype?
 
Powell uses core breathing. This instantly calms and warms the body.  This technique is used my martial artists and monks. It improves lung function and lowers stress levels and improves focus.
 
He does not use video. Powell is against the idea of having practice done whilst guided by a video. He believes that watching a screen takes away from the focus of the instruction, or the pose. Thus he uses audio and beat and walks you through with each breath. I like the sound of this. I like that one is in the moment listening to the practice, step by step, being guided through. 
 
This is a proprietary yoga routine that can be done anywhere.   Runner’s Yoga will help you loose weight, calm your mind, condition your body , and it is completely accessible. It is a short workout, done everyday and it has a downloadable course. Yes, you can have it now! No waiting!
 
Yoga is truly for everyone.
 

He is so sure that you will love this program, that he gives you 6 free lessons to try it out, at no cost!                                     

You are able to do Yoga anywhere, effectively!
