Ski, Snowboard, Stretch

We all know that the only way to truly prepare for Winter sports is to get out there and do them. Whether you are heading to Heavenly or Kirkwood, Squaw or Sierra at Tahoe, yoga asana and breath work as well as mindful practices can help you to feel strong, safe and aware while out on the snow. Try out these simple practices in order to prepare for this year's season. You won't regret it.

There are many yoga asana (poses) that can help you to strengthen as well as recover from your day out on the slopes. An experienced and knowledgeable instructor will be able to guide you through theses poses and teach you how to use them in a way that helps you prepare for your day out, then release afterward.

To Prepare:

Yudrasana (Lunge) - raising and lowering between high and low lunges.

Deviasana (Goddess) - holding, and also shifting your upper body from side-to-side.

Virabhadrasana Dvi (Warrior Two) - holding, as well as rotating.

To Release:

Parsvottanasana - intense side stretch.

Supta Virasana - reclined hero

Svastikasana - auspicious pose/reclined twist variation
