Balance Poses for Surfers

I hope you've had a chance to practice some of the pre-surf stretches and post-surf stretches!

Here are a few of my favorite poses to improve balance and core strength!  I hope you enjoy them, and remember to always..

Breathe ~ relax ~ focus ~ and enjoy!

Heaven-Earth Pose -- from Yoga for Surfers III: Unleashed!  One of the YFS crew's favorites -- a great ankle strengthener and a fun balance pose all in one! With Brian Conley, tube-riding superstar!

Boat Pose -- from YFS II: Fluid Power Yoga. This is a great ab/core work out and a really fun balance pose. With Rochelle Ballard. Do this one three times every day for best results!

Hi Peggy! Loving YFS, started off on the Yoga for Board Sports and now have let myself 'graduate' to YFS1. I'm a really fit girl, I swim, surf and do a bit of cardioboxing ...After a few yoga sessions i realised that i was really tense and needed a good stretching program. I have also felt that my shoulders have become a lot more open and that the YFS counteracts all the swimming and paddling i do (i have started to get a bit of tendonitis which YFS has helped with). all in all im a very happer camper with the program and loving the fact that i no longer try and rush to a yoga class whose aim is relaxation! love the music on the dvds too, and the visuals, its really soothing and inspiring
cheers!
