About Hyongok

Hyongok is a certified personal trainer with a holistic approach to fitness that recognizes both the physical and non physical aspects of fitness. Her goals for her clients when training them are, that they  feel more in control of their bodies, can exercise without injury and experience that all important “feel good” sensation. Hyongok’s approach to training focuses on three key elements: functionality, core strength and postural alignment.  Her approach is based on a deep understanding of the workings of the body gained through an intensive practice of Ashtanga and Anasura yoga, ChiRunning® and an extremely active lifestyle. In addition to Yoga and ChiRunning® Hyongok finds time for cross country skiing, hiking and spinning.

Running
For years Hyongok ran regularly, but suffered from discomfort during and after runs as well as injuries. Danny’s book ChiRunning®, changed that, by applying the principles  outlined in the book to her running the discomfort and injuries were eliminated and running became a real joy.  Hyongok would like share the joy of running with you.
