The ancient tradition of Yoga, which means “to yoke” or “create union”, is both a philosophical system and a science that offers us the opportunity to deepen our self-awareness through physical movement, breathing, and meditation.

The practice of Hatha yoga can lead to physical benefits such as improved cardiovascular functioning, stronger muscles, bones and increased flexibility. The benefits of the mind and soul are endless-the experience of quieting your mind while connecting with your breath leads to a deeper sense of well-being and balance.

BRY primarily offers classes in the Vinyasa, or flowing style of Hatha yoga, which synchronizes movement with breath. Please refer to the class descriptions to find the class that is right for you.

Surfers Flow

Improve your surfing performance through a well-balanced Yoga practice that develops strength, balance and flexibility.

The core of the Surfer's Flow class is based on creating a flowing practice using poses geared to open shoulders and hips, strengthen the back, and safely stretch the entire body, helping to prevent injuries.

Even the most moderate dose of a yoga practice will improve flexibility, promote better breathing, increase blood flow and help you recover faster between sessions.

Brain activity is affected from yoga and meditation so that awareness and focus might be sustained all through the surf session making you more present and aware of your surroundings like the ocean's patterns.

A basic pre and post-surfing routine together with a regular yoga practice will improve your surfing, will help you keep a strong and healthy body enhancing every aspect of your life!
