Aloha!
Surfing and yoga are completely different disciplines, at least a priori so it seems.However, a deeper view shows us that the differences are not so many, and may eventually be complementary ways of life. Both integrate the practitioner in nature. Both surfing and yoga bring the practitioner to the present moment, experiencing it with total surrender.
Yoga intensifies the surfing experience.The relationship with the sea is strengthened by putting the practitioner in full tune with the cosmic surroundings.
The "dynamic meditation" that the practitioner experiences, catching and surfing a wave till the end of the ride can be greatly enhanced by the application of yoga techniques for surfing.surfing becomes highly productive through:
- A heating directed to a better performance at sea. Flexibility and muscle stretching capabilities are improved by avoiding injury and cramping. There is an increase in strength and muscular endurance, without, however, giving rise to muscular size, avoiding muscular hypotrophy. Also the consciousness of the body, which provides greater speed of reflexes, and the balance is worked and acquired through specific postures, the asanas.
-Pranayama (yogic breathing). Cardio-respiratory capacity is increased via these exercises. A lung capacity and resistance are increased, resulting in a stronger paddling and an increase in confidence. Concentration and tranquility are magnified and directed through the breath, avoiding situations of fear or panic in situations of great sea, the bursting shop etc.
Also, heat or cold can not be increased or reduced by specific pranayamas (breaths).
- Meditative and concentration exercises that act in the reduction of anxiety, motor coordination, tranquility in the choice of waves and decrease of errors, increase of focus, and consequent "better reading of sea", that is a number of numerical converter of waves caught by Surfing
- Visualization and mentalization exercises. They are the most effective way to surf in the way that we have idealized.
Also after surfing there are physical and mental care, which properly executed, besides relaxing the whole muscular system leaving the practitioner completely restored to the activities of daily life or to the next surfing, prolong the feeling that is brought Of the surf, whose best defense, in my view, remains the American "stoked."
The application of these age-old techniques from yoga to surfing is a powerful combination. One discipline as another, separately, is a powerful tool at our disposal that has the power to give us access to a kind of happiness impossible to describe who never Surfed or practiced yoga.

4 Paths That Leads To Yoga
There are four traditional schools of Yoga, and these are: Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Karma Yoga, and Raja Yoga. While a Yogi or Yogini may focus exclusively on one of these approaches to Yoga, that is quite uncommon. For the vast majority of practitioners of Yoga, a blending of the four traditional types of Yoga is most appropriate. One follows his or her own predisposition in balancing these different forms of Yoga.
Jnana Yoga: Jnana Yoga is the path of knowledge, wisdom, introspection and contemplation. It involves deep exploration of the nature our being by systematically exploring and setting aside false identities.
Bhakti Yoga: Bhakti Yoga is the path of devotion, emotion, love, compassion, and service to God and others. All actions are done in the context of remembering the Divine.
Karma Yoga: Karma Yoga is the path of action, service to others, mindfulness, and remembering the levels of our being while fulfilling our actions or karma in the world.
Raja Yoga: Raja Yoga is a comprehensive method that emphasizes meditation, while encompassing the whole of Yoga. It directly deals with the encountering and transcending thoughts of the mind.

The Sankhya System
SAMKHYA
It means "enumeration". Of the shad (six) darshans, or points of view of traditional Hinduism, is the one that greater antiquity is attribute . It is a dualistic philosophy that postulates a person of two eternal realities; Purusha, a consciousness that witnesses phenomena, and Prakriti, a seed of the cause of phenomena, composed of three principles (elements): sattva, rajas and tamas.
Roughly speaking, Purusha represents the spirit, Prakriti represents the matter and the gunas, devoid of any moral , are what connect Purusha to Prakriti. The yoga practices are the "scissors" that cuts the "threads" (gunas) and release the spirit of matter.
Samkhya is a philosophy that explains how the world manifests. It is the metaphysics of self-realization and yoga is the sadhana (practice) to achieve the libertation.
Although we do not teach "theoretical" samkhya classes, this will be the philosophy underlying the yoga we teach.
