Christy Brock, your YogaSurf instructor,
at the afternoon class
This is a great program for men, women and families,
from beginners to all level of experience in yoga and
surfing.
In Christy Brock's words: "You can be a Yogini
Wahine too!"
"Wahine",
pronounced WAH-HE-NEE, derives from the Hawaiian word
for woman and refers to a female surfer. One who practices
Yoga is a "yogi", or "yogini", if
female. So, a "Yogini Wahine" is a woman who
enjoys surfing and Yoga as means to bring physical and
mental balance and spiritual repose. Another way to
say it: a "Yogini Wahine" is a female of any
age who looks to both the ocean and her Yoga practice
as sources that quench her thirst for natural balance,
self-discovery, and spiritual strength.
