Yoga for swimmers complements your swimming training with exercises for shoulder and back mobility and for leg and core strength. Being able to move your shoulders freely is important for your stroke, while your abdominal and back muscles help you maintain your body position in the water. Stretches are combined with strengthening poses.
In this 30-minute class, you'll practice “Dynamic Revolved Chair”, “Dynamic Plank on One Arm and One Leg” and “Kneeling Frog Pose”. In Kneeling Frog Pose, you'll move your knees apart to a width that feels comfortable. The class ends with time to rest lying down.
Choose your level of effort with your swimming workouts and any accumulated fatigue in mind. If your arms are already tired from swimming, keep shoulder movements within a smaller range.
