Sage Rountree, author of The Athlete’s Guide to Yoga, will teach you routines you can practice immediately before, during, and after your workouts to help keep your body balanced and your mind present. We’ll learn all the details of five specific routines, none of which will take you more than 10 minutes, but all of which will help you avoid injury, recover faster, and continue running well. You’ll leave feeling confident about incorporating yoga in your training—or with a fun lesson plan to teach in your own classes. Appropriate for athletes of all levels of sport and yoga experience.

Practice Beneath the Skin: A Moving Conversation with our Inner Structures

Sunday June 14, 2026 12:00pm - 1:30pm EDT

Crane West

This session is a sample of the movement practices Leslie and Lauri lead during their innovative week-long cadaver dissection workshops. The intent is to provide an experiential embodiment of the insights gained in the day’s lab.

Exclusively for BYF, Leslie and Lauri have agreed to share some of their private dissection footage from several of their labs, so that participants can get a taste of the experience of lab attendees.

In this session you will have an opportunity integrate the revealed fascial planes, musculoskeletal continuities, organic relations and internal breath movements with guided movement, visualization and tactile feedback. Time will also be devoted to interactive exchange and Q&A.

Notice: The viewing of dissected human cadaver imagery is an integral part of this session
