We respect our limits.

In the last few days I have been swimming more than surfing! But there is such a thing. Especially when you are called by bigger and bigger waves, you have to go. In Canguu there have been huge waves in the last few days before low tide. On the foliage too.

I had a 2-3 meter wave coming towards me. Not one! It was 5-6 in a row.

While I was waiting for my wave before low tide I had time to study how many YouTube videos are on the internet about how to avoid the wave in the impact zone.

As many surf schools, so many different teachings. There are good ones! But for beginners and advanced divers, a duck dive, for example, is a huge stress factor! While pondering, I realized that my method here is also Pranayama!!

If I don't take the wave, I simply

• I leave the board and jump into the water,
• I prepare myself for the wave coming towards me,
• I take a deep breath and dive underwater a few meters before the “impact”.
• I observe my breath within myself.
• I let my body completely relax.
• I exclude all external factors and let my body resurface in a few seconds. I don't panic.
• I return to my center.
• Then I take a deep abdominal breath and wait for the next wave to be mine!

Believe it or not, even before “take off”, Pranayama is what helps you stay balanced and on the wave! The breath, the focus, the center! If you master prana, you are here and now. In your Center! For me, surfing is not without yoga! Our camps focus on surfing and yoga! Before and after surfing, yoga will help us stay balanced with breathing exercises and a series of asanas!
