Yoga classes in Famara, Lanzarote, Canary Islands

Improve your surfing with Yoga, make it safer and more fun!

Yoga and surfing is the perfect combination for everyone. Surfing and Yoga both improve your flexibility and strength. Both activities open your eyes to the beauty around you, as they put you in a harmony with your surroundings. Our Yoga for Surfers is customized for surfers at all levels.

Professional surfers like Kelly Slater, Stephanie Gilmore, and Cory Lopez practice surf yoga to improve their performance in the water.  In addition, it helps to stay flexible and relaxed during competitions.

If everything seems to be happening at the same time, just breath!

According to the ancient yogic text, the Yogasutra of Patanjali, Yoga means ʻʻThe waves of thoughts come to rest in the spirit. ʼʼ The same will happen to you while you are in the waves of the ocean.

The Red Star Yoga sessions are specifically tailored to the needs of a surfer. Therefore, the focus is on relaxing asanas (exercises), to regenerate the body after a day of surfing. A mixture of stretches and relaxing exercises help your blood circulate through the body more freely. This way you can enjoy the next day’s surf session without feeling sore or physically tired.

Yoga and its benefits for surfing

Flexibility, body control, and conscious breathing are essential for progressive surfing. The improved breathing technique will have a great impact on your paddling strength, the power of your turns and your speed. Yoga also will also reduce the risk of injuries.

Balance exercises ease your body into inner peace. Also, you will greatly improve your balance and strength. A couple of breathing and relaxation exercises at the end of the surf yoga class will relax your body and mind.
