Yoga is a powerful and ancient method of human development. It works on our physical and mental body , as well as on our energy and emotions.
The word Yoga comes from the Sanskrit and means “to connect”. Our lessons are designed to work with your surfing activity and are orientated by a qualified instructor from the Cascais Yoga Centre , a branch of the renowned Yoga Lusa Association, founded by the revered Yoga Master Jorge Veiga e Castro.
The lessons are held daily in the surfcamp, alternating between mornings and evenings. Three times a week an extra session will be held in the beach right after your surfing lesson. This session will be aimed at stretching and rejuvenating. The benefits that a yoga practice has on your surfing are numerous. They include great joint flexibility, muscle elasticity, endurance, balance and suppleness, increased energy level, the expansion of breathing capacity, (very important in
a whipeout!).
Yoga also offers you increased concentration capacity which leads to greater mental clarity and being able to make fast decisions in critical moments, this helps you in selecting just the right moment to catch that perfect wave. Yoga also leaves you staying loose and relaxed, which is essential for enjoying a great surf. |
