Surfing at Surfing and Yoga Newquay

Yoga and surfing go together hand in hand; they complement each other perfectly and practicing one benefits the other. Surfing is becoming one with nature, with the ocean and the waves, yoga is becoming one with everything around us; it allows us to tune into the flow of life with greater ease and understanding, as well as strengthening the body and focusing of the mind.

You can reap the benefits of yoga by doing even a small amount; you will increase your core strength and lung capacity as well as your flexibility and range of movement. By focusing on the breath and controlling the movements of the body we create stillness in the mind to concentrate the energies on that next wave!

During the weekend yoga and surfing retreat you will have a yoga class in the morning on Saturday and Sunday to stretch, energise and prepare the body for fun filled day perfecting your surfing skills. The yoga classes will include breathing exercises, physical postures, flowing movements and a deep relaxation. Yoga is for everyone; the poses can be modified to suit all shapes and sizes and no experience is necessary therefore the classes are open to all and beginners are most welcome.

The surfing courses will be run at our centre of excellence in Newquay. Using beach coaching, in-water coaching and video training, no matter what level of surfer you are we will make sure you leave one level better! Your head coach Chris Thomson has been coaching for over ten years since the age of nineteen.

You will leave with a short DVD of the weekend's surfing.
