You might think this winter’s skiing experience will feel the same as last year’s. How about going for a new experience by attending Yoga for Sports classes before leaving for the mountains?
Through yoga practice you will develop:
- A greater sense of stability and trust in the whole body as you are skiing, while feeling truly in touch with the snowy surface
- Increased strength and ease of movement in your hip and shoulder regions
- A feeling of comfort in your legs and spine in the typical skiing posture
- Ease of breathing at higher altitudes through greater breath awareness
And as you arrive back to the chalet after a day of skiing, enjoy lying down with your legs up the wall, allowing your body to recover and be ready for a new day of alpine adventures. If you are like most of us, sitting down for an average of 12-15 hours per day, start yoga practice now! It will make your time on the slopes so much more enjoyable. Annette teaches Yoga for Sports classes at The Wimbledon Club. All levels welcome, group and 1 to 1 sessions available.
