Yoga and Surfing share so much that if you are not paying attention you might confuse them for the same activity. Both develop strength, flexibility, and balance in the body. Both develop the ability to be aware of where you are going while being completely absorbed in the present moment. Practicing the two together creates the potential for maximum health, vitality, and fun.

Your morning yoga practice with Troy will wake up your senses, get your blood moving, and prepare you for a graceful day of riding waves. The evening yoga session will focus on a calming practice of unwinding from a calming day of unwinding in the sun and surf.
