For runners, integrating specific yoga poses into their routine may aid in recovery, improve flexibility, and prevent injuries. Yoga poses that focus on stretching the lower body, strengthening core muscles, and promoting balance are particularly beneficial for runners. 

Poses like Downward Dog help to stretch and lengthen the hamstrings, calves, and Achilles tendons, which often become tight due to running. 

Pigeon Pose targets the hips and glutes, alleviating tightness and increasing mobility. 

Additionally, the Warrior series enhances strength in the legs while engaging the core, providing stability and balance. Incorporating these yoga poses into a runner's regimen can aid in muscle recovery, improve flexibility, and contribute to overall performance by possibly reducing the risk of common running-related injuries.
