Surfing and the Pranayama

In the last few days there have been huge waves! 2.5 - 3 meter waves, wind and of course very strong shorebreaks.
I've seen two or three boards break in two as a session. And when I spent my time in the beach café, they came out of the waves one after another, with broken boards, torn leashes, bruises. It's hard to take a rest day and say, I'm not going out today because the conditions are not favourable. I went out too. I stood there on the beach, shorebreak took me 10 - 15 minutes to walk my board in, paddle in the water. I was patient, it's hard to be patient at first because you want to be in the waves as soon as possible. But we have to learn to be patient and accept the fact that the sea, the ocean, nature, needs time to accept us.
Think of it like a gate, you ring the bell, stand there and wait for it to open so you can walk through it slowly, patiently.

🧘🏻‍♀️Mivel can I exercise patience?
Pranayama, or breathing exercises.
It is a proven fact that the breaking of waves has a meditative effect on us.

I stand there and:
🪷 observe the stability of my body,
🪷 the factors around me,
🪷 I exclude the sounds around me,
🪷 I just focus on the sound of the ocean,
🪷 I awaken my breathing consciousness,
🪷 I am at the centre of it,
🪷 and listen to the sensations, the rhythm of the sea,
🪷 and when it's time I just focus on the "here and now",
🪷 I dive into the water with calm and decisive movements.

🏄🏻‍♀️Ezáltal increases the internal balance. And when you are standing in front of your wave, you will be centered in the here and now.🧘🏻‍♀️
For me, there is no surfing without yoga, and everyday is not complete without practice!
So I can be here and now, in balance.
