I am a RYT 200 certified yoga instructor, running coach, and former CrossFit L1 trainer. I created Run Yoga Run - which combines my knowledge as a running coach, strength trainer, and yoga instructor - to teach runners (and all athletes) how yoga can be a beneficial activity as part of their training program, especially on active recovery days.

My focus on yoga for runners stems from my own experiences. After I ran my first marathon in 2012, I spent TWO WEEKS walking backwards down a set of stairs, groaning every time I had to get up from a chair, and taking five minutes to tie my shoes. Fast forward one year later... I added weekly yoga to my training for marathon #2. This time, I was able to move around with ease after TWO DAYS! This inspired me to work towards my 200-hour RYT certification, take numerous professional development courses on all different styles of yoga (including courses that focus specifically on yoga for athletes), attend numerous running clinics, and earn my L1 Certificate for CrossFit. After spending years absorbing as much information as I can - along with teaching and coaching all ages - I created Run Yoga Run for the running community. While I enjoy offering classes and workshop to runners in my community, I continue to read, study, learn all I can to help athletes properly recover, prevent injury, and maximize their performance.

I am currently the head coach for Fair Lawn High School's Winter Track & Field team and the boys head coach for Fair Lawn High School's Spring Track & Field team. I work primarily with the distance runners in both seasons. I am also a high school English teacher at FLHS since 2002.

"Although I'm not a "runner" my self, I had the chance to take a bunch of Gina's Yoga for Runners classes this past winter. I found Gina had an intuitive ability to read the room and craft a program for everyone while I still felt I got individual instruction. I specifically enjoyed how she spent time focusing on the small details such as foot positioning as these areas are often neglected. Overall working with Gina was a great experience and I highly recommend her classes!"
