Yoga for snowboarders complements your training with exercises for leg strength, balance and torso mobility. On a snowboard, you need to shift your weight between your legs and stay steady through turns. Squats, torso rotations and balancing poses give you a chance to work on these movements on the mat.
In this 60-minute class, you'll practice “Equestrian Pose”, “Half Pigeon Pose” and “Warrior 3 Pose”. In Warrior III, you'll balance on one leg and pay attention to the position of your pelvis. You'll finish by lying down to rest.
Choose the hour-long class when you'd like a change from your usual training routine.
In squats and balancing poses, pay attention to your feet, knees, and how you distribute your weight. Before snowboarding, choose a level of effort that leaves your legs fresh.
