About the Episode

Have you ever wanted to be a person who runs, but when you try it’s the absolute worst?

After suffering from asthma, pretending she ran when she didn’t, and always giving up after a few minutes, Rachel now finally calls herself a runner.

In today’s episode, she shares the 5 simple steps that brought her from hating every second of a run to running 10K in complete bliss.

Running doesn’t have to be hard. It's all about getting out there, moving the body, dropping in and communing with nature.

Did you know that you can run at your own pace? Give yourself permission to slow down!

This episode will remind you to listen to your body, drop into the present moment through the breath, and remove all expectations when it comes to running. Tune in to get started, and find more motivation by visiting Yoga Girl on Spotify and checking out the RUN playlist.

The best time to go for a run might just be today!

Key Takeaways
