Is Yoga Good For Snowboarding?
Tweet Yoga is something that’s been on my radar for quite a while now, though there’s never been a big enough impulse for me to actually give it go. Well, there have been a few things recently that have made me reconsider. Whilst I’m still not convinced that I am going to try it – [...]
Plan for Snowboarding Next Summer
Tweet Injury update The last 10% of my walking-recovery is taking it’s time.
