Yoga Moves for Pre-and Post-ski
By Brooke Danielson
Finding a moment of Zen can be challenging but trust me when I say it’s worth the time and effort to do so, particularly before a full day of skiing. The objective is to get centred, stretch and prepare your muscles for strenuous activity. Practicing yoga may also help with your focus and ability to be more present in the moment on and off-piste.
Pre-ski
Aim to make these more dynamic (you want to have movement since your muscles aren't warm yet).
Warrior 2
Bonnie's Fleece
Chair Pose + Twisted Prayer
Low Lunge
Great to start in down dog and move into this pose.
Post-ski
These should be more static. Hold for as long as it feels good, but at least one minute on each side.
Downward Dog
Tree Pose
Crescent Lunge
