Trail Running and Yoga

For everyone comfortable running a 5K race.

Enjoy a weekend of yoga and outdoor adventure in the beautiful Berkshires. Trail running and yoga may seem fundamentally different in their approach to movement, but they share many unexpected traits. Each demands a high level of mental, emotional, and physical awareness—skills that a growing body of research suggests prevent injury and optimize performance.

Join  Kripalu Yoga teacher Sarajean Rudman and medical doctor and avid runner Stephen Alsdorf to

  • Experience daily runs on well-maintained forest and ridge trails right outside Kripalu’s front door
  • Learn how to prevent injuries and run with more ease and greater joy
  • Explore how running and yoga complement each other to develop mind-body strength, flexibility, and stability
  • Practice yoga each day to build endurance and awareness
  • Discover the specific health benefits of natural environments with an introduction to the science of “forest therapy.”
