Recovery Day Yoga for Swimmers (and everyone else!) Class - Five Parks Yoga  @FiveParksYoga
Uploaded January 2024 | Updated September 2026, 12 hours ago
This yoga class is tailor-made for swimmers and (as always, everyone else!). Join me and Colorado Mesa University swimmers, Ben and Jacob (cmumavericks.com/sports/mens-swimming-and-diving) for a well-rounded practice including strengthening, stretching, balancing and breath work, designed specifically for those recovery days in between intense workouts.

Begin your practice with the grounding rhythm of box breathing, gaining of your breath’s length and pace. Transition into a mindful warm-up, including neck rolls, side bends, chest expansion, and the fluidity of cat-cow and spinal balance. Open the chest and shoulders in heart-melting pose, setting the stage for a session that caters to both swimmers and enthusiasts alike.

The journey continues as you extend into stretches targeting shoulder tension with thread the needle and extended child's pose, gradually warming up the back through lengthening in rag doll forward fold. Wake up your core with a high plank hold, paving the way for back strengtheners like Cobra rolls and sustained Cobra holds, promoting back strength and release.

Move into a series of standing postures – from the dynamic crescent lunge with knee dips to the grounding warrior two, triangle, and the expansive reverse triangle. Increase hip mobility with low squats, squat lifts, and side lunges. Balance in poses such as pigeon, staff, and airplane. Invert in standing straddle splits and nurture spine flexibility through floor bow and grounded airplane.

Finish class with a sequence of reclined postures, including twists, paving the way for a well-deserved Savasana. GO MAVS!
