Elite Junior DASH Yoga: Recovery, Mobility, Breath and Mindfulness

About the Class

DASH Yoga at DASH Training Facility  DASH welcomes a specialized yoga session designed to prepare you for your upcoming tryouts. The sessions focus on enhancing your performance through targeted mobility, breath work, and mindfulness. Our goal is to help you de-stress, rejuvenate, and approach your tryouts with confidence and composure. 1. Mobility Focus (Emphasis on Hips): We’ll begin with a series of dynamic stretches and poses aimed at increasing flexibility and strength in the hips. This is crucial for hockey players, as improved hip mobility supports better skating mechanics, agility, and overall on-ice performance. Expect to engage in movements that open up the hip flexors, hamstrings, and glutes, ensuring your lower body feels fluid and powerful. 2. Breath Work: Next, we’ll delve into breath work techniques that enhance focus and relaxation. Controlled breathing helps to calm the nervous system, reducing anxiety and stress. We’ll practice deep, rhythmic breathing to center your mind, improve oxygen flow, and foster a sense of inner calm. This is a key tool to help you stay grounded and clear-headed during high-pressure situations. 3. Mindfulness Practice: We’ll conclude with mindfulness exercises to anchor your mental state. Through guided meditation and visualization, you’ll learn to manage pre-tryout nerves and maintain a positive mindset. This practice not only boosts your mental resilience but also helps you stay present and engaged, both on and off the ice.
