Runner’s Yoga – Official Blog

I’ve just finished producing six free lessons you are sent automatically when you sign up at RunnersYoga.com. (Enter your name and email address in the pop-up box, or about half way down the Home Page.)

I gave the lessons the shamelessly enticing title of “Six Secrets to Becoming a Yoga Master; Including How to do Yoga’s Most Difficult Pose.” (You have to wait for Lesson #6 for that last bit )

The content it covers (proper yoga breathing, effective exercise stretching, etc.) is not specific to the Runners Yoga routine – it will be valuable to any yoga practice. (In fact, much of it can be applied to any fitness training, yoga for health, or home exercise plan.)

Also, the movie files in the complete Runner’s Yoga Program are now downloadable in MP4 format. (In addition to the previous WMV & MOV.)

I have also found a free solution to the challenge that some owners of Mac computers face playing different video formats. I’ll be posting the link to the Freeware on the product download page today.

That’s it for now. (Haven’t forgot about Part 2 of Why Runners Need Yoga. Just on overwhelm with other chores at the moment.)

Hey … HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Have an amazing ‘09.

All the best,

Wow, where did that week go?!

Between chipping away at the many, many tasks for the new website, plus all the wonderful distractions that come around Christmas and New Years, time has been flying by.

Quite a few years ago in his book Future Shock, Alvin Toffler described this hectic world we find ourselves in. And one of his warnings was that we weren’t ready to handle all the change and stress that was coming our way.

There’s a great video called “Shift Happens that gives a sense of how much and quickly our world is changing. So I’m just going to post it below and get back to the many chores a-waiting.

Happy holidays!

PS This is a remix of the original Did You Know?/Shift Happens created by Karl Fisch, a teacher in Colorado. Here’s an explanation of this version:

The following adaptation of the original “Shift Happens” presentation was created by Sony BMG Music Entertainment. The video, presented by Richard Sanders, President of Sony BMG International, was shown on 4 May 2008 to 150 of the company’s top executives gathered in Rome for Sony BMG’s annual Global Management Meeting. As part of Sony BMG’s mission to improve the music experience for consumers living in “exponential times”, the video illustrates the demand for change.
