You will learn yoga from a highly experienced local instructor who will gently guide you through the session in a supportive group environment.

Whether it is your first time or if you have been practicing for years, you will hopefully learn something new and discover a new level of strength and balance from each session.
Types of yoga
Hatha yoga
Hatha is a general style that encompasses a lot of styles of yoga. It is defined by its slow pace with an emphasis on the breath, making it a more meditative style of yoga. Great for beginners, or older people, who may be looking for gentle ease into the practice of yoga.
Power yoga
Power Yoga is an intensive form of yoga that is fast-paced and is sure to get your heart rate up and make you work hard. It will make you sweat and get the endorphins flowing. Power is perfect for anyone that is looking to improve their strength and fitness with this high-intensity style of practice.
Iyengar yoga
Iyengar is a unique form of yoga that concentrates on the alignment of the postures (asanas). This attention to your posture is important and it allows you to focus and let you understand your body better.
Vinyasa yoga
Vinyasa (also known as Vinyasa flow) is a form of yoga that strings pose together in coordination with your breath to create a sequence and is one of the most contemporary styles of yoga.
Surfing demands you to be fully in tune with your environment and surroundings as well requiring a high level of focus. The ability to empty your mind of all the clutter and distractions to be present is no easy task. But it is a skill that you will need to master if you are to succeed in the water. Turn on, tune in, or fall off. Many pro surfers like Kelly Slater attribute their surfing success to the benefits that they have gained from practicing yoga (amongst other things).
Yoga is a physical form of exercise and its transferability to surfing cannot be overlooked or overstated. It can be tremendously helpful in strengthening the core as well as improving balance, flexibility, and mobility. These are all things you are going need to be a successful surfer.
Padang Padang Surf Camp teach a unique style of yoga that is specific to improving your surfing performance. You will learn poses and sequences that are most effective and that target the muscles that need more development.
Although yoga is tailored toward surfers, you must not forget that yoga means "union" and remind yourselves that this is not just yoga for surfers, but instead, it is yoga for all.
Video / photographed sessions
Every morning, the team takes surfing photos or videos and the camp will provide at least two photo/video analysis sessions per week to identify problems with your surfing technique, and propose the solution. Their photographer captures the best of the action for your daily surf report. High-quality video and photos are free and given to you on a disc at the end of your stay.
