Erika Hall-Running, Yoga and Conditioning

I finished my 8 week 5k training tonight! What a great experience! I was not a runner before this and now I feel the confidence to go out and run. I learned each week something new to enhance my training and build confidence. I highly recommend signing up.

I’m relatively new to the area and took Erika’s running class just to connect with other runners. I also wanted to learn more about the combo of yoga and running since I had to drop out of marathon training some years back when we got up to running 15 – 16 miles because of my tight hamstrings. I’ve learned some great strategies from Erika for dealing with tight hamstrings and my running has improved significantly. I’ve also learned several other things from Erika that have improved my running. She’s a great teacher. If you’re thinking about running a half or full marathon or just want to improve your running you’ll learn so much from Erika. I highly recommend taking her class!

I’m five weeks into Erika’s 8 week class for beginning runners. I’ve WANTED to be a runner, and yet always felt so awkward running, I never pursued it for long. I was WOWED from class 1. Right away, Erika taught us four principles of running that have changed everything for me. And as obvious as they are, even my running friends are impressed with what I know that they’ve never learned. Erika is an expert teacher, she’s fun, her classes are all super-​informative, and she sets the most amazing tone for all her students. I now have confidence! I understand cadance. I know the proper posture for running. I have learned about nutrition. I am clear on how to prevent injuries. I know great stretches for after and great warm ups to do before a run. I know how to use intervals to build my endurance. And I feel GREAT!
Erika teaches a variety of classes and all I can tell you is that any event with her is going to be well worth it!

Ive been wanting to try this yoga for runners for months now. She finally changed her hours to 7 – 8 and Im in luck! Coming of a quick run I was in need of some stretching and some relaxation. Her class did the job and then some. Very Pleasant and easy to follow. I highly recommend her class if you are a runner or an athlete. I thing she has other classes, in other days but I didn’t get a chance to ask her. I was told by one of the women in the class that she was voted by LA Hotlist as the top yoga in town. Awesome!!! my first time and Im the right class. Expect to see more of me!!!
