Unlock the secrets to mindful movement and discover how to elevate your running game with our incredible guest, seasoned vinyasa yoga teacher Nicky Yazbek. With over two decades of experience, Nicky takes us through her inspiring journey from her early gym days, influenced by her athletic parents, to finding her passion for yoga. She offers priceless advice on choosing the yoga style and teacher that best align with your personality, especially if you're a beginner. Runners, often driven by a type A personality, might naturally lean towards the active vinyasa flow, but Nicky encourages exploring different styles to reap the full range of benefits yoga has to offer.

Get ready to understand what makes yoga unique compared to other sports and how age is just a number when it comes to progress in yoga. Nicky explains the initial hurdles new practitioners face, such as decoding yoga movements and language, and how men, in particular, might find it more challenging due to engaging less-used muscles. We also dive into the distinctions between Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, dissecting their suitability for both beginners and seasoned yogis. Whether you're a runner aiming to enhance your performance or someone eager to start a transformative journey, this episode is brimming with insights to inspire and guide you.
