Yoga for Surfers Workshop in Lahinch with Tanya Fitzpatrick of Align Somatics

 

How to save your surfing with Somatic Movement

When surfs up, the demands on the body increases, causing muscles to tighten up. When we do not fully release this tension daily, compensatory patterns can develop affecting our performance. As we surf more our muscle memory can start becoming inefficient and key areas like the lower back and hips increase the levels of tension which attributes to losing balance, slower movement and miss timing.

Introducing groundbreaking movement education, a method of advanced movement techniques that rapidly releases muscle tension and re-trains learnt muscular habits. These specific movements dissolve compensatory patterns through an active learning process of slow, relaxing movements. The outcome; relaxed responsive muscles, improved posture, increased awareness of internal movement, improved flexibility and coordination.
