Surf & Yoga: The Ultimate Health Combination!

12/18/2017

 
Being able to escape everyday life to surf or take part in a yoga class seems like a good way to relax and find time for yourself. However, there are more benefits than just relaxation and fun that come with these experiences.  Both yoga and surfing unwind your spirit and helps you get in touch with your body and soul.  Even more than this, surf and yoga can join together to have a positive effect on your every day life.

According to Disrupt Sports, in order to surf, you must allow yourself to be truly present in the moment.   This consciousness and existence in the moment have physical, emotional, and mental benefits for everyone who participates!  It is a gift from surfing that you enjoy every wave and rush of adrenaline as it is happening. Most times in life, we are not so lucky to be so present since we constantly worry about the past, the present, the future, and things we cannot change. Surfing also makes you realize how small you and your problems are in the grand scheme of things. You understand that you are at mother nature's mercy when it comes to the waves and that they are not something that you can control.

Yoga also forces you to be present in the moment. It requires concentration on your breathing and focus on each pose, and you realize soon enough that you are too relaxed to worry about the problems in your life.  Since yoga connects the mind and body, there is no surprise that it has positive effects, both mentally and physically.  Yoga acts as therapy for some people as it reduces their stress, anxiety, and depression (you can find the expanded list of advantageto trying yoga out by visiting this Yoga Journal article). Physically, you are more in tune with your body and there are a plethora of benefits yoga has for your physical health.  For example, yoga helps drop your blood pressure, increases your blood flow, betters your bones, and so much more!

Surf and Yoga have the option to be both individual and group activities, offering the possibilities for private practice and focus as well as the camaraderie of a group activity for interpersonal growth before, during and after the practice of the activity. 

​When surf and yoga come together, you have that much greater opportunity to better yourself and bring positive effects into your everyday life. The physical and mental benefits of yoga work together to give you better overall health and make you more in tune with your body. Surfing makes you realize how good it feels to be living in the moment as it happens.  Once you leave your yoga or surf session, you take the calm with you and feel more positive vibes, making you a an all-around happier, healthier, and more positive version of yourself!


So if you were wondering if yoga or surfing was right for you, or if you should spend the time and money on them, the answer is yes. There is no better way to improve your mental and physical health, and to ultimately better your life.
