So, I bought the Yoga for surfers DVD like 3 years ago and did it a fwe times. Really worked well. I somehow lost the DVD and don't feel like re-purchasing it. Does anyone know any free online resources that layout some basic yoga stretching for surfing. Mainly for the leg areas.... I know how to do normal stretching, Im just wondering if there are any things online that have the yoga stretching that Yoga for surfing did... Anyone have some knowledge to kick?
i asked this same question but about bbing and ppl gave me **** for it, but i would like to know some too. do them have them on demand?
not that I know of. But my on demand is different. Its through cox communications. But like I said, I had the beginner video, and it was mostly normal stretches that aren't that intense, but the way they put it together, when you do some of them, you are like on your back and they have you roll your body a certain way, and you can just feel your back muscles and spine release a ton of pressure. So, its mostly basic strectching, but the way they incorporate the yoga side of the progression makes it good. I have googled this a bunch, but there aren't any real free resources on line of Yoga geared toward surfers. The general concensus seems to be that the Yoga for Surfing DVDs are perfect, so why er-invent the wheel. Its all like 50 different links that eventually lead you back to purchasing the DVD. I tore my house up looking for it. Still in here somewhere, but I cant find it.
Isn't 1 pretty useless unless you've never done a minute of yoga? I remember 2 being much better than 1.
I would reccommend taking a yoga class, if you have the time... I find that you get much more out of it... But, that is just me personally. Almost everywhere has yoga classes, so they are pretty easy to find.
I was looking into Yoga Classes and I found the best price at 10 classes 100 dollars classes . I dont know how long the classed run but, I have seen great review on the about some the teachers in my area. Plus I would rather have someone teaching me rather than watchin a video cause it you are doing something slighty wrong you wouldnt know if you were just watchin a dvd. A teacher would be able to show what you are doing wrong and it can prevent injury.
I've done the sequences of #1 every morning for two years now. For me it's less about the Yoga and more about basic practical stretching, which is all I'm looking for. I like that it touches on a few of the most classic poses in Yoga and also concludes with a little bit of meditation, but if you're looking for a good stretch routine it's definitely for you. If you're looking for more actual Yoga then yeah, you're gonna want #2 and #3. And I agree with SwellInfo about taking classes, mostly because there's just no DVD substitute for a fine yogini down-dogging in yer face.
I just take a regular yoga class and it helps a lot. Not to mention all of the nice asses in black shorts are a nice thing to look at. It almost puts me in the same mental state as surfing.
And it teaches mental discipline by making you try to fend off the usual erection that would result from those asses.
I had that video but became tired of it quickly. I have Rodney yees advance yoga video and has a great hour long full body stretch. Works all the surf muscles without a doubt. but my favorite is the half hour hip opening sequence, opens up the hips back and legs which are key for loose surfing. Even though it says advance yoga you can pick it up pretty quick, found it a lot more useful and better than surfers yoga even though that's a good vid
Yeah, I really only used it for the strectching. I live in a hippie beach town in california. The street basically has, Surf shop, coffee shop, organic yogurt shop, Yoga Study, MMA studio, another surf shop, another hippe organic veggie shop, a medical weed store, then another yoga studio. Repeat that about 15 times and that is ocean beach. So, I have yoga resources everywhere, and all the windows say "Yoga makes you surf better" etc... But honestly, I feel gay enough in my own home doing yoga. The thought of sitting in public and dedicating actual session to it is a bit much for me. At least now. I just need to get my flexibility back. I strain to do rail grabs and sh** now. I go hands free in the air most of the time just cause I dont feel like crouching down that far,.... time for yoga or some serious strecthcing.
If you hit up a University close to you they prob have free yoga for students and if you aren't a student the classes are only like 5 bucks. That's what it is at Salisbury..not to mention college girls in yoga pants.
I do yoga at a studio close to my house, mostly "Hot" similar to Bikram - find it really helps flexibility Online, just google yoga I'm sure a lot of things will come up- there are online resources for all the different asanas (postures) Some basic routines like Sun Salutations, warrior series, down dog, triangle and lunges (high, low) will help loosen you up Yoga journal has a website with with a free video of a routine The advantage of taking courses besides the help from the instructor with adjustments and small nuances of poses- is the classes are usually 70 -80 % women JTS
i cant download it, and is this the one your saying to buy?.. http://www.yogaforsurferstv.com/order/ if so, which ones would u recomend to buy? and any cheaper ways to get it?
Check out p90x, I just droped 26lbs. I was never flexible until I started the program. What is, is a 90day program, you workout six days a week. It takes major commitment. When I started I weighed 205lbs and now I weigh 179lbs. I was flabby before and now I'm cut. I still have one month left of the program. I'm in the best shape of my life.
