Yoga for Skiers and Snowboarders
Yoga’s ability to improve strength, flexibility, stamina, balance and breathing makes it the perfect accompaniment to skiing and boarding. Whether you want to prevent injury or take your skiing or boarding to the next level, then Yoga can help you achieve your goal.
Improves performance
Yoga maximises performance on the slopes by building strength and endurance, whilst developing suppleness, balance and coordination.
· Corrects muscular imbalances which can restrict movement
· Lengthens thigh muscles to increase range of motion
· Develops flexibility in hips promoting better angulation
· Increases awareness and strength of the core muscle groups allowing quicker reactions to unexpected situations.
· Strengthens and encourages the correct use of back muscles, which is important as spinal stability is with the opposing motions of shoulder flexion and hip extension.
· Yoga relaxes the diaphragm muscles, delivering more oxygen to the lungs This helps to relax the nervous system and slows the heart rate, leading to feelings of calm, vital before a challenging run.
Injury prevention
Perhaps the most significant benefit yoga can bring to your skiing and boarding is injury prevention. Winter sports put a great deal of stress on your body as cold and often tight muscles are asked to perform a variety of challenging functions. Dexterity, balance, and high levels of concentration are all necessary.
Whether you hit the slopes regularly or sporadically the athletic requirements are demanding. You may end up injured and disillusioned. By observing your body's imbalances, we can employ a yoga program to effectively prepare you; averting strains, aches and more serious injuries.
The ability to concentrate on your breathing during the transitioning of movements enables you to cultivate an awareness of correct body balance and alignment. This will allow you to achieve more out of your time on the mountain.
· Yoga helps warm up and down muscles
· By overcompensating in one area of the body it weakens another. This imbalance can lead to injury. Yoga develops the weaker muscles creating a balanced, stronger body.
· Breathing techniques help calm and focus the mind – greater concentration mean less accidents
· Focuses on lengthening fibres in the key muscle groups involved in supporting sensitive knee joints
