Summer is in full swing! Yep!  We’ve got 100% all natural hot yoga every weekend for you.   But since some of you may find the heat daunting, we want to offer a few points to consider. Its cooler in the woods and we practice in the shade. Heat helps you get limber and is great for yoga breakthroughs! It’s not as hot outside as it is in a hot yoga studio (usually 105 degrees!) The summer breeze means no stagnant stuffy air. Nothing like a good sweat to detox the body! We’ll take you to “the beach.”  (Peirce Mill Hike) Some hikes end at an awesome cool water pump! (Peirce Mill Hike) Bottom line, outdoor hot yoga is high quality good stuff.  Give it a try!  For the rest of July and August we will have at least 2 Yoga Hikes a week.  Sign up online and join us! Thank You Rosslyn, VA!…

Date September 10, 2013 Posted by Mar on the Run! Comments13 About a week ago a photo popped up in my Facebook news feed.  It was of Danielle Reyes, the owner and operator of Yoga Hikes DC and she was enjoying an off day hiking.  Seeing the name “Yoga Hikes DC” I was intrigued about this combo so I clicked on the Facebook page to learn a little more.  What I read interested me enough to sign up for a class this past weekend.  As a runner I truly believe that in order to be more effective at it and reduce susceptibility to injury, you need to engage in other fitness activities.  I complement my running with strength training, cross training and…
