This Event Has Passed

Please contact info@omfactorynyc.com to express your interest in attending this workshop in the future at Om Factory

Treat yourself to a Pre-Marathon Yoga workshop. This workshop is appropriate for runners in general, and especially appropriate for athletes running the New York City Marathon on November 1st. Enjoy relaxing in simple supported poses that require little energy, allowing you to center, focus, and restore your vitality. You will learn to work with a mantra and other tools for concentration during running or any intense situation. You'll gently stretch your chest, back, hips, and legs, and you'll leave feeling both relaxed and focused, ready for whatever your Sunday has to offer. No yoga experience needed. Wear comfortable clothes, warm socks, and bring an eye pillow, if you have one.
