Shepherdstown, WV—Jala Yoga, the beautiful and inspiring yoga studio at Mellow Moods Cafe and Juice Bar, 117 West German Street, Shepherdstown, will offer a yoga workshop specifically for runners on Friday, August 24, 6-8 pm.  The 2-hour workshop, co-taught by yoga instructors Christa Mastrangelo Joyce and Siri McDonald, costs $16, $13 for Jala class card holders, and $11 for college or high school students.

Among the topics to be covered are ways that yoga can help condition the body, provide necessary realignment and stretching to enhance running times, and facilitate oxygenation of the body during runs.  By exploring some of the best yoga poses for runners, Christa and Siri will demonstrate the ways that core strength, balance, flexibility, and mental focus can enhance a runner’s abilities as well as decrease pain during and after runs.
