We’re excited to be partnering with Y6 Yoga for the Craft Beer Half Marathon! 🧘‍♀️🍻

I recently took one of their RESTORE classes, and wow… my body needed it after some tough training runs leading up to the Craft Beer Half. The class focuses on floor postures, deep stretching, and releasing those key core muscle groups that get tight from running. By the end, my legs and hips felt completely reset — no soreness, no tightness.

If you’re looking to add recovery into your training routine or just want to enjoy a great guided yoga class, definitely check out Y6 Yoga in Ballantyne. They offer a wide variety of classes for every level.

Even better… Y6 Yoga will be at the Craft Beer Half Marathon! They’ll be leading two FREE 30-minute guided stretch sessions at 9:15 AM and 10:30 AM. It’s the perfect way to give your body some post-race recovery😊

Just stop by their booth after you finish and join the stretch. Your legs will thank you👌.
