Yoga For Snowsports

I am sure we all have those days after snowboarding wishing that we had trained more or maybe that we just need to stretch before or after this strenuous activity. I have put together a list of poses to help us stretch our bodies after a day on the hill or even just for day to day use during the winter.  Lets start with a few I have posted on my facebook and instagram and add a few of my other favorites.
