Breathing and Snowboarding
๐ฌTry to have your movements mirror your breath when snowboarding ๐ฌ
Play with this idea when you rideย to connect your body and breath!ย
Focusing on your breathing while snowboarding will help you to:
โ
Stay calm and relaxed ๐
โ
Add symmetry to your riding ๐ฅ๐
โ
Rip downhill with rhythm and flow ๐ช๐
1๏ธโฃ During the traverse, as you bend the lower joints to create pressure and grip:
โ๏ธ Breathe out
โ๏ธ Feel yourself get heavier and closer to the board โ๏ธโฌ๏ธ
2๏ธโฃ When you want to turn, as you stand up to easily unweight the board:
โ๏ธ Breathe in
โ๏ธ Feel yourself getting light and airy โ
๏ธ as your lungs fill with oxygen ๐จ
Become one with your body ๐โค๏ธ It's a moving meditation when you pair your breathing with your movements ๐ฎ
It places a lot of attention, focus and awareness inside the body ๐ฆ
Breathingย like this is awesome to try on your warm-up lap to get you in the zone ๐ฏ๐ก
Remember to breatheย and you will be a zen master on your snowboardย ๐
