Ten minutes of moving warm-up before you run — and the word moving is the point. Everything here flows: Tiger pose lifting and rounding, big slow circles with the knee to open the hip socket, lunges, then the Warrior sequence to wake the legs up properly.
If you’ve done my Yin classes you’ll notice this is a completely different animal, and that’s deliberate.
Long, passive holds right before a run can leave you feeling loose and a little less powerful — not what you want in the first mile. Before a run your body wants to be woken up, not lengthened out. So we move: joints through their range, glutes firing, hips opening under their own steam.
Save the long holds for afterwards. That’s when they earn their keep.
Tabletop into Tiger pose on each side, with the option to catch the foot and find a quad stretch at the top. Then hip circles — knee to elbow, out to the side, back behind you — three each way, which does more for a runner’s hips than any static stretch could in the same time. Downward Dog with the feet paddling to wake the calves. A low lunge with a twist on each side. Then Warrior I, Warrior II and Reverse Warrior, both sides, before rolling up to standing.
No props, no floor work beyond the first few minutes, and you can do it in your running kit.
This is the warm-up half. For the other end, I’ve made a free 15-Minute Post-Run Reset — a follow-along Yin class for right after you get back, with a hold timer and written cues so you can practise screen-free once you know the shapes. It’s yours to keep.

It runs about 10 min. Yin is slow and floor-based, so you can settle in — and pause any time you need to.
No props needed — just a mat and a warm, quiet space. A cushion or blanket nearby is always welcome for extra comfort.
Yes. It's an all-levels class — every pose has a gentler option, so work at about 80% of your edge and ease off whenever you need to.
