Participation guidelines
To get the most out of this course, it would be useful that you are running at least 2-3 times per week, and are comfortable running up to 45 minutes at one go. In addition, this course will add to your current knowledge of yoga, so it is recommended that you have a weekly movement practice. Unfortunately this course isn’t suitable for people brand new to yoga or running.
$85.00 for four 90 min sessions. Each session builds on the previous week, so it is highly recommended to sign up to the entire course. The Yoga for Runners workshops sell out, so course registration is essential. Email bookings (at) urbanyoga (dot) co (dot) nz to reserve your space.*Please note, the cost of this course doesn’t include entry into events.
