Yoga for Kitesurfers

Strengthen your practice, improve your kiting, and find your balance

Yoga as a Complement to Kitesurfing

Yoga offers kitesurfers invaluable benefits to improve performance, prevent injuries, and develop a deeper connection with the elements. Our unique approach combines ancient techniques with the specific needs of modern riders.

Ashtanga Yoga

Ashtanga is a dynamic and structured practice that strengthens the body and develops endurance, essential qualities for kitesurfers.

Benefits for Kitesurfers

  • Core strengthening and improved stability
  • Development of functional strength needed to control the bar and board
  • Improved endurance for extended sessions
  • Increased flexibility in shoulders and back for advanced maneuvers

Our Approach

Our Ashtanga classes are adapted to the specific needs of riders, emphasizing sequences that strengthen the areas used during kitesurfing. We offer sessions for all levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners.

Hatha Yoga

Hatha Yoga focuses on postural alignment and the balance between strength and flexibility, offering an ideal complementary approach for kitesurfers.

Benefits for Kitesurfers

  • Improved balance and proprioception
  • Development of body awareness for better technique
  • Correction of muscle imbalances caused by kitesurfing
  • Active recovery after intensive sessions

Our Approach

Our Hatha Yoga sessions are designed to create physical and mental balance, with special attention to postures that counterbalance tensions created by kitesurfing. Ideal for recovery days or days without wind.

Pranayama and Meditation

Breathing techniques (pranayama) and meditation are powerful tools for kitesurfers, both for performance and connection with the elements.

Benefits for Kitesurfers

  • Management of stress and anxiety before sessions in difficult conditions
  • Improved concentration and quick decision-making
  • Optimized breathing capacity for greater endurance
  • Development of a deeper connection with wind, water, and equipment

Our Approach

Our pranayama and meditation sessions are integrated into our yoga classes and can also be practiced directly on the beach before or after a session. We teach specific techniques to calm the mind before navigating in challenging conditions and to stay centered during competitions.
