Sasha loves the unpredictable nature of surfing: some days you’re waiting for a wave that never seems to come and all of the sudden, an opportunity presents itself. It is as much in the patience and skill of waiting, as it is in physical ability; and when you finally choose a wave, you have to put in work to get there, to be physically and mentally ready to take the risk to go after it. Yoga also reflects this balance of wilderness, both comfort and unknown, ease and effort. A good yoga practice is built on strength and flexibility. You have to be open to move, and strong to stay.
