Yoga and Surf: My Yin and Yang

Yoga and surfing are my saviors—they are my Yin and Yang. These two practices have taught me profound lessons about myself. My journey with yoga began with a physical transformation, improving my posture, gaining strength, and increasing flexibility. But as I continued, I realized it was about so much more than just the physical. Yoga pushed me to confront physical pain that was deeply connected to repressed emotions and feelings stored in my body. The path to openness and freedom can be painful, and it’s up to each of us to decide how far we’re willing to go to reach that level and face the obstacles along the way.

Hand in hand with yoga came surfing, which entered my life in a more explosive way, bringing all my fears and repressed feelings to the surface. This journey has been one of self-discovery, filled with struggles, joy, and disappointment. Yet, every day and every second of it has been worth it. Through yoga and surfing, I’ve learned what it truly means to be free. With each practice and each entry into the sea, I feel more confident, empowered, and deeply grateful for every person who has supported me along this journey.

A special thank you goes out to all the incredible women I’ve met through yoga and surfing. You’ve supported and uplifted me in ways I can’t fully express. I truly believe that happiness lies in this journey of self-discovery—in the search for meaning and the elevation to a deeper level of being.

I wanted to share my transformative experience with more women, which is why I am now focusing on women’s retreats. The Rise and Ride Surf and Yoga Women’s Retreat was born to help women connect with themselves and each other, using the power of yoga and surfing to awaken the strong, empowered woman within.
