With the early morning yoga sessions, you can slowly connect to your inner self, wake up with the ocean's breeze energy, and prepare your body's muscles for paddling, standing up, ridding waves, and to avoid injuries. These sessions can take place on the beach, surf school’s deck, or studio according to group preferences and / or weather conditions.

Furthermore, through conscious breathing exercises, you can enhance your endurance in the water and with a focused mind, you can make better wave choices as well as follow more precisely the experienced surf teacher's advice.
