- Claire Parnell and Nickie Heape
If you like to run a little or a lot; and if you want to become or stay supple and strong in body and mind through yoga, then this is a weekend for you!
As well as planned runs, probably including a proper local parkrun on Saturday morning, there will be a chance to have your running technique filmed and analysed; be 'screened' to assess areas of strength, weakness, and/or tightness in your running body; plus, strength and conditioning instructions and routines.
The yoga sessions will be runner-focused, stretching those areas that runners need to stretch most.
There will of course be plenty of opportunity to ask questions throughout the weekend, about running schedules, training techniques, injuries, nutrition, and yoga.
And to keep our energy levels up, there will be healthy meals; and the sauna will be in action too.
Claire is an experienced Sports Therapist and Personal Trainer, as well as a GB age group duathlete. She is passionate about making your running as efficient as possible to minimise the risk of injury, and potentially, to make you faster!
Nickie Heape has been practicing yoga for nearly thirty years, and teaching it for seventeen. She is also a runner! You can find out more about her here: yogawithnickie.com
