Surf and Yoga!
There's only one way to surf: if nothing distracts you from surfing! What's a good way to practice? Yoga! It's no coincidence that yoga is the second love in surfers' lives!
Yoga develops:
Mobility. For surfing – popping up on the board, turns – it's good to have a lot of freedom of movement. It helps you balance and move on the board more efficiently. With yoga, you practice stretches supported by strength, exactly what you need.
Strength in the legs and deeper muscles. This is no longer just for jumping and turning, as you stand deep throughout, pushing with your legs in one direction or another. Standing poses effectively develop the muscles needed for this. Long holds develop endurance.
Balance. Balance requires good body awareness, attention to bodily sensations, flexible feet and ankles, calm breathing, and a focused mind. And for this, yoga.
Concentration skills. Yoga helps the mind break free from the trap of compulsive thinking. This comes in handy for surfing, where alertness and an open state of mind are needed to adapt to the constantly changing waves and feel the energy you're riding.
Flexibility: surfing involves sudden changes in direction and quick movements. These are best developed harmoniously by flow-type classes, which actively utilize the stored elastic energy of the movement chains.
