Yoga Sk8rs

Guessing a lot of y’all are doing some yoga to compliment your skating, or just happen to do yoga [and your life isn’t framed entirely around skating, good on you]

You watching any good instructors / videos etc that are easily accessible?

Usually roll with Yoga with Adriene (https://youtube.com/c/yogawithadriene) but open to broadening horizons, need to get back into a more regular practice again

I found a vinyl version of this and was using it for a while until I was able to do it unguided. I felt it was pretty helpful for me personally.



Honestly I need to do yoga more consistently, I feel my skating and overall flexibility has suffered because I've been lacking.

This is sick, thanks

Yoga with Adrienne is good.  For the most part though, I just try to hold a few basic poses(mainly down dog) before I go to bed or after I work out.

I found out about hatha and ashtanga yoga about 12 years ago and was hooked from day 1. I've had many other injuries since and have transitioned to a mix of traditional hatha yoga earlier in the day (sun salutations A+B) and restorative yoga practice for the night, just 2-4 asana held on the floor for 45 mins.

I also meet the qualifications for a 500+hr (of training) experienced yoga teacher thru yoga alliance. I don't put a ton of stock on that governing body but its what it is.

Yoga is one of a handful of things that came together at the same point and saved my life from sheer destruction

I'm pretty vocal about my Pilates advocacy, but you need to find a good instructor - even mat Pilates isn’t something you should do on your own.

Yeah getting on a reformer is fantastic just, like you said, a little less accessible day-to-day

Sounds like a nice practice, the morning/night, hatha/yin sequence seems excellent

Any suggestions for the bulkier of us? I just get mad demotivated when some reedy vixen is bending around two ways in some instructional while I'm struggling to get my fingertips halfway down my shins and my down dog feels more like somebody fell forward off the toilet seat

I have started with hatha yoga in 2008 because of some skate injuries. It definitely helped. I went through my hippie trippie esoteric period believing in ancient bulshits but then come to my mind. I was a big fan of ashtanga vinyasa, but now only do some basic asanas that are skate oriented if i can say so. I am not so regular with the breath work and the meditation practices as before, but i do them from time to time. I would suggest this youtube channel
https://www.youtube.com/user/ashtangayogaparis
It is ashtanga yoga oriented, but they also have some other guided practices suitabale for everyone and also some theory.
As for the meditation practices i think buddism is better than yoga, my favourite teachers are Martin Batchelor and  bhikkhu Analayo but the new commerce mindfulness teachers like john cabat zinn and joseph goldstein are of great help too.

I did yoga for the first time when I was 17 at a music festival. Behind my knees were killing me from walking around barefoot all weekend and the 7 stair I skated consistently cause jumping was the only thing I could do as a youngin. Now I’m 25 doing yoga daily and I’m healthier and skating harder than I did when I was 17 and I think yoga is 100% to thank start doing yoga your body will thank you plus yoga pants mom ass

I lived beside a Bikram spot on Colfax years ago, and every week or 2 I'd try it again, but I'm no way was it enjoyable at all. Not comfortable at all, and the smell too. 

The Prison Yoga Project /Prison Ashram can take my donation money forever.  A terrific program, sending free basic Hatha yoga/ mediation books to inmates.  Probably saved my life.

[Lenny the Fatface]

I do some of the poses as a part of my daily stretches, but that’s about it. It’s obviously great for injury prevention and safer bails. In my early 20’s I used to go to Yoga classes at the YMCA, but that was just to meet women tbh.

I still don’t understand how some people get fucking ripped from just stretching and breathing.

Started 3 years ago as a "let's see what it does for you" and been into it ever since.

I cannot stand Adrienne tho, I usually exercise with Kassandra (https://www.youtube.com/c/yogawithkassandra) that has even 5/10 minutes morning videos to get the juices flowing even if you're in a rush.

Thanks, good rec.  Yeah skating and yoga are both things that kinda flipped my perspective on things as simple as standing haha, and a little goes a long way with either to recenter/better your mental health etc
