The likelihood is not a lot. As a passionate runner, often with a training goal, the preference to spend the spare time you have doing the thing you love is understandable but tight, un-supple muscles and weak, unstable joints can often lead to injury. At Sweat, we’ve helped many Redway Runners rehabilitate injuries and get back to running. But prevention is always better than cure. Regular classes with us won’t only help you stay injury-free, they’ll improve your running performance through greater flexibility, balance, core control and improved breathing and focus. At Sweat we provide yoga with a difference. There’s no gongs, chanting or incense. We focus on yoga for exercise and our hot yoga sessions are perfect for tight, inflexible bodies. Our classes are popular with active, sporty people and we train professional athletes including the MK Dons and Northampton Saints. So come along and see us and find out how Sweat yoga could help you. Find out more at sweatstudios.co.uk .
