Yoga for Skiers and Snowboarders – with Chris Courtney, E-RYT

Prepare to hit the slopes!

Find out how yoga can enhance your skiing or boarding season!

 Never done yoga but love to ski or snowboard?  No fear – this workshop is for anyone looking for a way to improve their skiing through yoga.  The only requirements are curiosity and an open mind.

Interested in finding core strength, body awareness, and balance that will help take your skiing to another level?   Tired of dealing with tight hips or sore lower back muscles after a weekend on the slopes?  Want to learn how yoga can help prevent skiing-related injuries?

With this 2 hour workshop, you’ll learn how you can use yoga to improve your strength, flexibility, stamina, balance and breathing to improve your skiing and boarding. Whether you want to prevent injury or take your skiing or boarding to the next level, this workshop can help you on the way to achieve your goals!

 This workshop consists of three parts:

- Identifying where you need stability and agility – we’ll highlight the key areas of the body and explore how they relate to increasing performance, improving balance and control over your skis/board, building endurance, and preventing injuries.

-  Improving stamina, building strength and increasing flexibility – we’ll move through a sequence for overall conditioning and strengthening which addresses the target areas we identified in part one.

-  Learn effective pre- and apres- ski sequences to speed recovery time after a day on the slopes.

 Taught by yoga teacher, avid skier (Alpine, and Nordic) and mountaineer Chris Courtney, RYT 500
