Apura Yoga @ Maximum Surfcamp – Portugal

Apura Yoga @ Maximum Surfcamp 2012: 05.08 until 30.09 & 08.10 until 28.10.2012

The Yoga

The yoga practice will be based on Vinyasa flow and Hatha yoga. Vinyasa flow combines the breath with the body’s natural ability for movement to create a flowing, dance like practice, which burns away toxins in the body and clears the mind.

The Hatha yoga aspect of the practice is focused on the foundation of the asanas, or yogic postures, and will allow you to understand the dynamics of your body and to feel the proper alignment within each asana.

We will be doing 2 sessions per day the first one being fairly vigorous in the morning to warm up the body and the second being a cooling down and restorative practice from the days surfing activities.
The Vinyasa flow will compliment your surfing ability through balance, coordination and strength and will leave you feeling fully energized and healthy afterward.
The Surf

Every day Apura Yoga will take you to the best surfing beaches in the Peniche area. Your surf coaches are internationally licensed backed by years of experience. Each day our instructors introduce you to the basics of surfing, or help to improve your skills. With a two hour practice session each day and theoretical lessons on the beach, we give you a professional start into this great sport or take you to the next level, no matter what your skill are at the moment.

„The Surfing Yogis“

Combining surfing, yoga and meditation Apura Yoga brings people in contact with nature and experience their own bodies and minds. The yoga and surf teacher, Donovan Longaker (RYT) is from Santa Cruz, California, one of the premier surfing capitals of the world. He spent his life at the beach as a child beginning with body boarding, skim boarding and skateboarding, therefore it is only natural that surfing became a way of life for him.

He also grew up from the age of four in a Tibetan Buddhist environment, and started meditating over 25 years ago. He was inspired by yoga and how it helps to improve the body both physically and in meditation.  Donovan was drawn to Vinyasa flow which is a very dynamic style of yoga connected to the breath and to the natural movements of the body which help to calm the mind and revitalize the body. His yoga practice has become part of his life now and has accompanied his meditation practice for over 15 years.

During the past few years Donovan has been travelling throughout the world surfing and teaching at some of the most amazing breaks on the planet, and is now an International Surfing Association certified Surf Instructor as well as a Yoga Alliance certified Yoga instructor.

Yvonne is co-founder and a surf teacher at Apura Yoga. She is half Portuguese and a passionate “Surfista”. She started surfing in Portugal and has travelled on the Portuguese cost France, Brazil and California. In 2001, she attended her first Yoga class and ever since then, Yoga has become a regular practice. The practice of the Asanas has later allowed her to explore meditation more.
