NEW! Teacher Training

Peggy Hall is an avid surfer, certified yoga instructor, surf-nutrition specialist and the creator of the first-ever yoga program specifically for surfers! Surfer Magazine calls Peggy a "legend" in surfing fitness, as she has helped tens of thousands of surfers all over the world surf better -- and live better through her Yoga for Surfers® instructional videos.

"The moment of being on a wave is so fleeting -- yet so thrilling! -- that you want to experience it again and again, no matter how many waves you catch! In that moment, you are whole, complete, one with the wave, one with life!

Like surfing, yoga gives you a glimpse into what it is to be in that place of utter freedom – completely outside of the boundaries of time, constraints, obligations and expectations -- just powerful, alive and free!" 

~ Peggy Hall, Yoga for Surfers Creator

Post-Surf Stretches

I hope you've had a chance to practice some of the pre-surf stretches! Remember, it's best to save the deeper stretches for after your surf session. Whereas the pre-surf stretches are intended to increase your circulation, warm up your body and help you get mentally prepared for a great session, the post-surf stretches are your chance to move a little deeper and release any tension from the day.

These are a few of my favorite post-surf stretches! I hope you enjoy them, and remember to always..

Breathe ~ relax ~ focus ~ and enjoy!

 

Low back release "Windshield Wipers" --from Yoga for Board Sports! I admit -- this is one of my all-time favorite post-surf stretches. It's absolutely "yummy!" and I think you'll feel the same way once you do it. My hubby David (still ripping on a shortboard at the age of 50+) helps demonstrate:

 

Shoulder Opener with Leash -- From YFS III.  Wow -- this one feels great! You'll need an old surf leash, strap or towel for this one. Once you get the hang of it, you can move at a slower pace, close your eyes and just linger and breathe into the area where you feel the deepest stretch:

 

Down Dog -- the Yoga for Surfers way! Learn how to do the pose for maximum stretch in your hamstrings, shoulders and spine. It gets easier every time you do it! From Yoga for Board Sports:

 

Coming up next will be a few poses that will help you improve your core strength and balance for more power and flexibility on your carves and cutbacks!

 

“Your surfing will be that much better for it!” ~ Eastern Surf Magazine


First and foremost I want to say thank you. I have been in yoga for a long time and am a surfer. I have encountered many teachers who have lacked the skill of teaching and style of your videos. I go to many different schools and I find that you still are a better teacher and I enjoy the flow (From position to position and skill levels) that you've created for your dvd's. I live in San Diego and am looking to get my teaching certification. I don't know if you teach at a studio or have any direction that you can give to a school that has your talent. If you have any suggestions or do teach I would love to go to a few of your classes. If nothing else I just wanted to send you an email saying your a great talent in yoga and I appreciate what you've added to the practice. Thank you for your time.
