Relieve Knee Pain Yoga Made for Snowboarders

Knee pain is definitely one of the quickest way that you’ll have to go home early from a day on the mountain. Boo hoo, this is no good, when you’ve paid for your lift pass and waited to snowboard for so long! Cos it’s the best.

This can be very frustrating and there are many factors that could be causing this knee pain for you.

I’ve selfishly created a yoga sequence for you, as I also suffer from a little knee pain myself, after riding sideways.

Unless you’ve nailed your switch riding, you most probably have a stronger side whether you ride regular or goofy.

I’ve actually found out, from a very good Osteopath, that my knee pain, was more due to how I put pressure on the little toe of my right foot, rather than the big toe and that it’s actually is more of an imbalance in my hip, plus having a stiff mid back!

Aah the body, such a complex, fascinating and amazing thing.

So I would advice, if you have any pain, this sequence is more just a guide on relieving your knee issues, rather than a cure. I would highly advise to see a medical expert or a very good Osteopath.

Why do yoga to help with my sore knee?

Yoga is a great way to warm up your body before, as its winter and cold, your body will need a little more than just a stretch here and there. To fully warm up while the weather is bitterly cold and snowy.

While also you can do a quick yoga sequence to cool down, after a long day of riding on the mountain, so you can relieve the tension in your muscles while also being a little less sore to get back on the mountain for that powder day the next day.

The yoga sequence was created for beginners, honestly it doesn’t matter if you’re not a bendy acrobat, as long as you give each pose a go, the best you can.

A friend once said, the most knowledgeable teacher is you, make your own best judgment, on how each pose feels and back off, if it doesn’t feel right.

While also it’s important if you are a total beginner, to not give up and keep practicing more yoga, Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither will your yoga practice.
