My love of yoga began when I was in high school and started taking yoga classes one semester as part of our PE program. I’m not sure if it was because I was brand new to anything to do with the practice, or if we had a particularly good teacher, but that class was amazing for teaching the fundamentals of yoga, as well as leaving me with breathing techniques and practices I still use today. We learnt sun salutations, circular breathing, basic poses and the healing power of savasana. Honestly, it was a wonderful addition to the last couple of stressful years of high school.
Ever since then, I’ve done yoga on and off, whether it’s been DVDs at home, or going to classes. In the last couple of years, I would say my practice has become more regular, with me trying to attend classes more often, as well as realizing the benefits of yoga as a runner. It’s definitely become part of my running injury prevention (and knock on wood, I haven’t had an injury since 2010).
