How Yoga Helps

Bergfeld found yoga after years of marathon and ultra-marathon racing at a highly competitive level (she holds the title of USATF 50K Trail Champion and has run a sub-3 hour marathon). Yoga was the only thing that "worked" to resolve and prevent repetitive strain injuries. She still trains hard and races when she can, but yoga is now a big part of her current life.
