After 10-Mile Runs, These Are the Yoga Poses That Unknot My Hips, Back, and Hamstrings

After a long run and these intense postures, Savasana Pose helps me recenter and return to my breath. After the full sequence and this last restorative pose, I feel loose, relaxed, and completely rejuvenated.

• Lie flat on your back and close your eyes. Extend your arms a few inches away from the body, with your palms facing up.
• Bring about 15 to 20 inches between your feet, allowing your feet to fall open with your toes pointing out. Actively shrug your shoulders and shoulder blades down toward your hips. Lengthen through your spine as much as possible, and try to press the small of your back into the floor.
• After you've found a comfortable position, enjoy the stillness for five to 10 minutes.
