Yoga + Jogging = YOGGING!
The idea of combining running with yoga might seem odd, but that’s exactly what Heather King has
done, creating the unique idea of Yogging.
A long time fitness enthusiast, Heather came up with the idea of Yogging when she realised that people
might be able to find the time for a quick run in the park, but fitting a yoga class into a busy schedule
was proving difficult. Combining the two saves time, and gives all the benefits of both.
“When I was based in London I noticed that there were lots of young professionals lapping the parks
looking bored and who had to juggle busy lifestyles to fit in a yoga session, as a luxury,” says Heather.
Inspired by the Bikram yoga classes she was taking, Heather realised that muscles generate their own
heat during exercise. Taking advantage of the fact that a runner’s muscles get warm as they jog, she
intersperses yoga poses and stretches throughout the run, giving people the cardiovascular benefits
of the jogging, and the stretching and balancing benefits of yoga. Both improve stamina, and Heather
believes they are a perfect pair.
Heather will be transporting her Yogging moves from the beaches of Whitby to the Manchester OM Yoga
Show, giving visitors the perfect chance to find out more.
