Ski Lovers Psych Out Party

11/15/2012

Last night I had the opportunity to attend a pot luck gathering of ski and snowboard affecianados. Following a delicious feast I presented a short workshop introducing my new sequence 5 poses for knee stability.  As I was describing the many benefits this short yoga practice can bring to not only the body but the shredding ability of the practitioner I realized snow sports are one of the only activities where people don't warm up or stretch beforehand. When you consider the incredible forces put on the body by these activities this is quite unbelievable.  The group broke into a conversation about how for some strange reason if your seen doing stretches on the mountain in your gear people think your strange. We concluded that really it's more strange not to take care of your body properly so you can enjoy the slopes to the fullest.  After all, most people who are serious skiers and riders wouldn't dream of headding out with improperly tuned equipment. And yet the most expertly tuned boards can't help you if your muscles don't move smoothly through their full range of motion. This is what the 5 poses for knee stability sequence is really all about. It's a 10 minute practice that tunes up the body so it's ready to perform allowing the body owner to enjoy an epic day.  After the session we watched the movie The Dream Machine. Everyone dreams of deep days and epic untracked lines. It takes practice to become skilled enough to tackle the big lines.  By keeping the body well tuned it will be there for you through the learning process until one day you find yourself on top the gnarliest line of you life and ready to charge!
