Does anyone here do yoga? I heard that it really helps your flexibility and I know that some pros do it. I was thinking about it b/c i am really inflexibable and was wondering what your guys input is?

hahahahahah, im gonna get some shit for this but yes. everytime i ski, i have to do yoga, it helps soooo much in getting flexible and getting centered. i am soo much better at skiing now because of it. I am no hippy though.

I did yoga last year.  Not only did I become the most flexible and relaxed I have ever been, but I also managed to stay in touch with a couple of the girls from the class.  I took it at my university, which is key.

Yoga does great for skiing. It helps to strengthen your core muscles where a lot of you balance comes from. Plus the added benifit of improving your flexibility. Definately will help your skiing.

Dude, we do need a ns yoga cult.
I stretch for 1hr+ every day because my legs are kinda wack. But it fixes them. I think yoga would be more productive though, maybe. I wana check it out.

i started doing yoga over the summer to combat the stiffness brought on by rock climbing. its pretty much the only way i can warm up to ski now. the balance and escpecially the awarness of absract core muscles like the spinal collumn have helped alot in spinning both ways and never feeling like you have an "off day"


i used to think i just had bad days but now i realize it was just when my chakras(inner energy flows) wernt alligned. now i go all out always and i credit yoga. i feel like skiing is rich in prana(life energy) and becoming aware of that vital energy flow is the best way to connect yourself to the mountain or feature your riding on.

Yoga can really loosen you up if you keep a good pace through the workout. You can even use yoga to sweat out a previous nights "good times". Most stretching routines are based on old yoga poses anyway.

i am a huge proponent of yoga, especially core power yoga. just doing the stretches help, but you should really try to spend an hour in a class 3-4 times a week. www.corepoweryoga.com has progressive, faster paced, heated yoga instruction that is a great workout and significantly improves balance and flexibility. they have locations in denver, boulder, and now other cities across the us. I have gotten away from it over the past 6 months because of limited free time and i can certainly notice it. it really helped with my skiing.

If yoga chicks wear lululemon pants as it's what they're made for, then I'm in!
I am as flexible as a broomstick right now.

the more flexible you are the less chance you have of being injured, and yoga gives you flexibility and strength, not to mention a really clear head. go to a class or two to get the basics, and then just do the poses and sequences you enjoy and the ones that feel good. dont bother with the stuff thats too hard or doesn't feel right. i really like sun salutations, there are about a million versions of those but the sequence feels really good and its a nice stretch.
