Product: Yoga for Surfers [VHS]
Rating: 5.0
Not bad at all
Ok, I must admit, before I tried this DVD, I was REALLY skeptical if things like Yoga would ever help improving surf. I also thought that this may be another hype. I could not believe why so many ppl rave about the DVD either. I understand that many experienced would absolutely disagree with overall production but this DVD helped me practicing Yoga at least, but most of all, it really is helping my surf, too. I'm still a beginner/baby-surfer myself and for the last few months before I purchased this DVD, I felt like my surf was not improving at all, rather, that was completely opposite. I am not a kind of person who practice Yoga to begin with, I always thought Yoga was way too mellow for my lifestyle and therefore, not my kind of thing. I came across with this DVD, read few reviews and thought I should give it a try. Even if it didn't work for improving my surf, at least I could start something that may(or may not) work for relaxing & calming myself down. I really needed it anyways. First few tries were horrible...I could not maintain those postures or hold the certain pose at all but I guess that means I was either not fit enough or certain muscle groups did need more strength. Been using this DVD for almost 4 months now and I really wanna point out that I started seeing improvements. I certainly can catch more waves now than before, not much muscle soreness after session, also, I learned how to relax & calm down which I can certainly benefit in any occasion whether in or out from water. Overall great DVD. I am ordering the vol 2 now!
