Stretching, balance excercises etc.
 
Hello,

do you know any good stretching or balancing excercises for kayak
paddling? Stretching for enlargening the radius of the easily possible
movements, balancing to help with... well keeping the balance in
unstable conditions?

Preferedly without any equipment, and not looking for the eskimo rope
excercises. :-)

Thanks in advance,
Jakob

I don't enjoy yoga very much, but Yoga for Paddlers
http://www.noc.com/store/item_11669.html was pretty good.

This is tangential at best... but after a series of injuries I stopped running
for a couple of years and just did yoga (using a book with a title that read
something like "Richard Hittleman's 20-day Yoga Plan").

The effect on my HobieCat sailing was truly impressive. Being able to drop into
a squat, roll around on the tramp... and so-forth.

Now that I'm much older and my bod has started tightening up big-time, I wish
I'd never stopped...and I'm trying to get back into it.

Hey, isn't that the video by Andria, old RBP'er Leland Davis's partner?
It's a small world... :-)
