Welcome to Yoga for Surfers with Yssy. Designed around the physical demands of surfing, this intermediate Vinyasa session is the perfect cross-training tool for anyone looking to build lasting strength and mobility. We focus heavily on functional body mechanics: prioritizing chest and shoulder mobility to reverse upper back tension, and building the deep core strength required for agility and balance.

Yssy leads you through functional transitions combined with heat-building Sun and Moon Salutations. By actively releasing the exact places where the body holds the most physical stress, this practice sharpens your mental clarity and physical endurance. It’s a straightforward, highly functional flow to keep you strong and centered both in and out of the water.

*For this program we recommend two yoga blocks.

This program will help you:

• Boost Paddle Power: Open your chest and shoulders for more efficient, fluid movement.

• Stabilize Your Core: Build the deep abdominal strength needed for faster, more stable pop-ups.

• Total Body Recovery: Release deep-seated tension in the lower back, hamstrings, and upper spine.

• Enhance Endurance: Improve lung capacity and breath control for better physical performance.

• Cultivate Focus: Sharpen the mental clarity needed to stay calm and centered under pressure.

Namaste!

This all-levels class is the perfect evening ritual to reset your nervous system and prepare your body for a restful night. Release the day and settle into a state of total relaxation with this deep restorative practice.
