Lululemon’s Yoga for (SeaWheeze) Runners = Match Made in Heaven

I’ve always been a big believer that

yoga + running = a match made in heaven.

This smooth 30 minute yoga practice, led by official lululemon SeaWheeze ambassador Kerri Kelly, is perfect for runners who need to get a little bendy after pounding the pavement.

mzl.uzxncxao.320x480-75I won’t be able to run SeaWheeze this year, but I was really impressed by lulu’s new SeaWheeze half-marathon training app for iOS. The SeaWheeze app [iTunes link] is

one part pocket sized personal trainer, one part DJ and one part Vancouver city guide. Beginner and intermediate training programs include cross training, yoga and running options designed to help you reach your running goals, regardless if you’re training for SeaWheeze or another half marathon. The app lets you track your training, share your progress and listen to incredible music to keep you motivated.

I don’t really need the Vancouver city guide (right now), but I can definitely use the personal training and DJ features. It would be an especially awesome tool if they eventually allowed users to select their own training start dates so it can be effectively used for other races. But, for what it is–the SeaWheeze Half-Marathon app–it does a pretty amazing job. Check out all the details on lululemon’s blog.

Happy running and stretchy yoga goodness, friends:)

Inspired Partner Yoga by Briohny Smyth and Dice Iida-Klein

It’s been a while since we’ve posted any good yoga clips on Daily Cup of Yoga, but I just ran across this exceptional demonstration by Briohny Smyth and Dice lida-Klein to kick off last year’s launch of yourBuddhi.com.  Just had to share it…I thought it was pretty mesmerizing and the music is great as well, so watch and enjoy!

By the way, we have some great yoga book giveaways coming up this week, so even if your football team didn’t win (or make it to the Super Bowl, which was totally lights out if you ask me…), it still might be your lucky week!!
