With some runners hesitant to brave the yoga studio – and the benefits unclear – I wanted to get a leading expert on the podcast to discuss yoga for runners. Please say hi to Sage Rountree. Sage isn't just an internationally recognized yoga expert with the highest level of training possible. She hasn't just worked with Olympians, NBA and NFL players, and collegiate athletes. She's also a running and triathlon coach and the author of eight books, including: The Athlete's Guide to Yoga: An Integrated Approach to Strength, Flexibility, and Focus Racing Wisely: A Practical and Philosophical Guide to Performing at Your Personal Best The Runner's Guide to Yoga, 2nd Edition With a PhD in English Literature, race experience from 400m to the ultramarathon, and experience teaching yoga at venues ranging from the local Turkey Trot to the Pentagon, Sage has a breadth of experience unlike most other fitness experts. She's also the owner of the Carolina Yoga Company, the Hillsborough Spa and Day Retreat; and the Carolina Massage Institute. And she's on the podcast to talk about the many benefits of yoga for runners.
