Surfing and Yoga
Wednesday, May 5th, 2010 at 5:24 amSurfing and Yoga work beautifully together
Yoga works on the mental level to help you develop focus and concentration which is absolutely essential for performing well on the waves. Sometimes the difference between a good day and bad day of surfing is all to do with your emotional state.
It can get scary and fear is not the best companion to have when you’re trying to catch waves! It’s necessary to practive caution of course, with other surfers, with boards, wit the waves and with the sea bed below, but if you’re unable to tune out negative thoughts then it affects your surfing negatively.
Yoga also works on the physical level to improve your strength, flexibility, stamina, balance and coordination. That means you’ll be able to surf longer, with more energy and endurance. No more paddling back in to the beach early because of fatigue or aches and pains!

Finally, yoga works on a spiritual level to help you deepen your connection to nature! Surfers thrive on the energy of the ocean. Yoga helps you remain present and aware so you deepen that experience.
