We are going to use these off-skates exercises to enable us to be more efficient skaters.
Virtual Yoga for Skaters These lessons help you improve your flexibility, potentially decrease injury by preparing your muscles for work, increase blood and nutrient supply to your muscles and calm your mind. This session will end with a short breathing practice that will focus on various techniques that will expand the breath capacity enabling better oxygenation before, during and after you skate.
