Your videos are the best yoga videos I've found, regardless of whether you surf or not.

I had been away from practicing yoga for a few months and developed osteoarthritis in my knee from a previous injury. It got so bad the Dr's left me with only the option of total knee replacement. I started practicing with your videos again, and my knee pain has mostly vanished. I hadn't noticed how out of alignment my hips had gotten.

Practicing yoga has re-aligned my body, and may ultimately help me avoid major knee surgery. I'm looking forward to using your latest video to add variety to my workouts.

Thanks,

Peggy & David:

I know you're heard from thousands of people about
your videos, but I wanted to add my thanks to you for
creating the YFS series.

I'm 55 years old, was a competitive surfer as a
teenager, and have always suffered from sciatic pain,
especially as I got older.  I've tried everything
western medicine has to offer to correct the pain but
nothing, even daily doses of morphine, could eradicate
it.   It would get so bad sometimes after surfing or
exercising that I could barely walk or drive. But I
refuse to be a couch potato!  My pain was worst at
night making it almost impossible to fall asleep -
sober, anyway.

As I started understanding the connection between
nerve pain and shortened muscles, especially the
glutes, I decided to try yoga.  In April I bought your
first DVD and enrolled in a twice-weekly yoga class. 
The class is challenging, but your DVD allowed me to
do the yoga at home and learn it faster.  In addition
to doing yoga before and after surfing, I've been
doing the Post-Surf Session routine every night before
going to bed and it has been a lifesaver.

I do the routine without the DVD now and slow the pace
down to really dwell on stretching the leg muscles and
glutes.  This 30 minutes of yoga each night has
transformed my evening routine from a desperate search
for pain relief to a relaxing, meditative experience I
cherish.  With the lights low it is the perfect
pre-sleep routine.  And, yes, my surfing, mental
outlook, and overall fitness continue to improve.    

I bought the second DVD and will undoubtedly get the
others, but I just wanted to thank you for the
peaceful hours of sleep I get and the renewed
flexibility and vitality I feel.

Namaste,

Hey Peggy,

Luckily my in-laws got me the entire Yoga for Surfers series which have helped me heal and strengthen my back since herniating two discs almost 3 years ago surfing Puerto Escondido. I had been to doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturists and massage studios and nothing helped get rid of the pain as well as Yoga. All I have to say is keep up the good work!

I am a neuropsychologist and have been surfing for over 40 years with many travels over the globe, chasing swells. Just caught Hurricane Bertha for 5 days of east coast groundswell in warm water Fla…still ride short boards and stretching, yoga and core strengthening have been essential to my longevity. Thanks for the great product…I use it regularly. Mahalo.

I am a 60 yrs old long boarder and stand-up paddle sole surfer. I have enjoyed YFS I & II for about two years. In addition to regular twice weekly yoga classes. It has greatly improved my flexibility and strength while helping release those nagging pains accumulated over five decades of surfing.

Thanks, keep up the excellent articles and news letters.

Hi Peggy,

I'm still enjoying the YFS dvd's so much. Using them often and also using some of the exercises when doing other sports (e.g. running).

I used to do ballet academy as a teenager and I find a lot of similarities between yoga and my dancing classes. I enjoy both surfing and yoga so much, but as I'm living and working in Amsterdam at the moment, I thought it's a good opportunity to do a yoga course. I am even dreaming about doing a teachers course some day, just to take my own yoga to another level, but also to maybe teach yoga during traveling on different surfing spots.

I can't explain how much I enjoy combining yoga with surfing and I really want to do more of both in the future.

Fortunately I'm actually surfing quite a bit here in Holland. Whenever possible I try to be in the water. And I have some trips planned for later this year. Going to the Canarie Islands in October and to Florida (US!) in December.

Hope all is good with both of you in California, all the best and take care.

I can’t remember how I first heard about it, but we have all of the dvd’s, and a couple of times a year I manage to get up north to Peggy’s class. She had mentioned that she was working on a couple of new videos, so I just kept my ears open for when it was released. I’m on your email list, so that’s how I heard this was done. My husband and I are also eagerly anticipating the yoga for backs one that she had mentioned! Thanks for asking, and please let us know if Peggy will be guest teaching down in the Carlsbad or Encinitas areas!

Hi Peggy!!

Just wanted to drop you a line and say that
I've had the opportunity to use YFS II and
have lent it to a lifeguard named Matt at my local beach break who
takes me out on occasion. 

So after the two of us practiced it at our own pace the results are in and there are now two VERY
happy surfers :) The breathing techniques have been amazing, I really
feel that the more I do it the more confidence I have when I
paddle out. Matt (who has asthsma) and I agree that the bonus breathing
section was the highlight of the dvd for both of us.

The dvd is definitely what I was looking for personally and I look forward to getting the third one myself.
Thanks so much, 
Emily :)

Dear Peggy and David,
Your wonderful package arrived yesterday. I worked through the whole Yoga for Board Sports DVD today and I really love it. I have played the CD 4 times today, that means I really like it!

Thank you again, for sharing all the surfing information with me, I absolutely treasure it...

So I’ve been using the dvd now for about a week and I love it. it's fantastic. I didn't realize how tight my shoulders and upper back were. I've been swimming a lot and it has really helped my stroke in addition to my posture...even though it's just been a week. Thanks again.
Take care,

Peggy & David:

I enjoyed YFS and it also inspired me to start going
to a yoga class today. I can tell it will help my
balance and focus in surfing. I'll let you know how
it all progresses but I've already learned some very
helpful poses and stretches from your video.

I'm an old fart (55 years old) so staying limber is
crucial to enjoying and excelling at surfing. Maybe
when I get this routine down I'll come back for the
other videos.

Several chiropractors have all but begged me to try yoga, so I got your video. I am currently “surfing" a mountain bike -- I tried a few other videos after that, but none of the other videos transferred over as well as yours.

Peggy & David,

I work for a SoCal fire department. We have a mandatory physical fitness program. A couple of guys were getting ready for a surf trip to Indo and they were using YFSII as part of their workout. After making fun of them, a group of us gave the routine a try, the combination of core strengthening, balance and flexibility is just what this FatOutOfShapeOldGuy needed to maintain and improve his back health.

Great website,

LOL...my boyfriend is too macho to do yoga but surfs all the time. I put Yoga for Surfers on my Blockbuster list and I'm happy to say with the surf videos in the background he did it and actually asked when we were going to do yoga again, so I decided to order the videos for myself.

Hey! I was suprised how fast it went to get the dvd here to Europe, it was like 6 days I think, very good!

I’ve heard about "Yoga for surfers" when me and my boyfriend were in Costa Rica for a surfholiday. So I decided to get a dvd for my boyfriend, he likes it very much!

Thank you!

Brilliant!

Thanks for the effort that goes into the routines. I have gone to yoga classes for a couple of years now and they are some of the best routines I have done, and definitely the best way to practice at home. As well as my surfing and snowboarding my rock climbing and running have definitely benefited from regular yoga practice.

I would love another copy of YFS I. I keep lending it to friends and never have it about.

Hi Peggy

I am constantly getting my clients to get the YFS DVDs - even clients who would never consider surfing are doing them!

I'm still practicing YFS regularly - did YFS 3 everyday on our recent snowboarding trip, I just love it! It was in the relaxation parts of the YFS I was doing while snowboarding 2 years ago that I really decided to quit the office job and embark on the fitness career, so its all thanks to you, and proof that yoga can change your life!

Take care and have fun!

Dear Peggy and David,

We received your dvd’s a whilst back and they are excellent. Am afraid I haven’t tried the yoga but it sure gives my girlfriend a work out and she is quite fit already. She reckons it really does help her surfing.

Anyway just thought I better hurry up and say thanks for the prompt service and delivery was excellent, thanks.

Hi Peggy and David

A good friend of mine that started his own board company came across your videos while living, surfing and making surfboards over in Ireland. When he got back state-side he told me about it and although I found it interesting I didn't really investigate any further. About a year ago I started dating my current girlfriend who had recently moved back to New Jersey from Huntington Beach and happens to be certified as a yoga instructor. I started checking out some of her DVD's, enjoyed them and remembered the Yoga for Surfers collection my friend had told me about. So now I will have a YFS gift pack and a new mat for her.
Thank you very much!

I saw your ad in Tracks surfing magazine years ago and purchased your first video. Great stuff! Love the backdrop as you go through the postures, both calming and meditating as a surfer of over 30 years with that in the background. I thought it was about time I upgraded to dvd not video. I went to yoga classes intensively for over a year and was taught by a great teacher who was highly trained/qualified. With work, family etc. I need the discipline to do more yoga and your video/dvds are great for me to do that.

I look forward very much to the new dvds and will always get your products even if it is just to upgrade to the latest. Thank you.

Hi Peggy and David,

My name is Lisa Cotellessa and a few months ago I had the entire Yoga for Surfers collection sent to me here in Australia.  I just wanted to take the time to write to you and let you know how happy both myself and my partner Mark are with the DVD's.  They are wonderful! We do it religiously every day. The instructions are clear and concise and Peggy, you are a huge motivation when at times all you want to do is give up (i.e..The Plank!!). 
		 
I am an ex-triathelte coming back from a particularly nasty injury and the yoga has not only helped with getting my body into back into better, but also my mind as it copes with the challenges that rebuilding your body back from injury can bring.  But mostly, just knowing that you are still doing some form of exercise that is beneficial to your surfing on the long flat spells that we experience here in Perth during summer can take away the frustration that these days can bring!
		 
So thank you so much,

Dear Peggy and David,

I heard about the Yoga For Surfers videos from Netflix. I been wanting to do yoga for awhile and thought I would netflix it...among many other videos for yoga, Yoga For Surfers came up. It caught my eye since I surf, also that there were 3 different videos so assumed there would be different levels etc. I rented them and loved them, Peggy does a great job in explaining things and talking you through the moves. She is very encouraging, down to earth and has a soothing and relaxing voice. Even as someone new to yoga I was comfortable and able to "catch on". The music is great and the surf clips are awesome. I really do feel a difference when I do yoga and when I don't. As a present for myself I decided to purchase all 3. Thank you for making YFS!!!!

Sincerely,

Bona Garretson

Just wanted to say thanks for making such a wonderful video! It's the best yoga video I've seen! I have Yoga for Surfers III and it is really effective! I especially like the relaxation pose afterwards. Looking forward to trying Yoga for Surfers I and II! Any other videos planned for the future?

Namaste,

Hi Peggy

I bought your YFS II and III and have so enjoyed them for maintaining fitness during the week and improving my surfing on the weekends that I have bought your YFSII for my sister for xmas

Thanks so much for having created these I am recommending them to all my surfer friends and even to friends who aren’t surfers. I have passed your website address onto some snowboarding friends also and recommended they buy your board sports yoga dvd

I found YFS 1 on Amazon 4 years ago. I got addicted, bought 2 and 3 as
well, because it was a perfect combination for windsurfing and
snowboarding which I do a lot here in Norway.

Hi Peggy,

Thank you for sending me Yoga for Surfers 3 … I put the YFS suite on my PSP recently when I was travelling, and alternated between them on each day I was away. It worked great! YFS 3 was definitely the more challenging of the three, and I found it very beneficial, and of course, ending up in a sweat and exhausted on my hotel floor. I will spend a few more weeks adjusting to the poses, and then will write a review for surflikeagirl.com.au

I have also recently been employed as a surf coach here in Victoria and have been incorporating some of your yoga moves into my warm-ups – so thank you for all your help and advice.

Dear Peggy and David,

Just a quick note to wish you well in the hope that you, family and friends remained unscathed by the devastating fires.

In case you need cheering along, I thought I'd tell you about my Dad, who's 75, a keen runner and at least once a month does some sort of fun-run between 6-10 miles and annually competes in a half marathon. Just over a year ago, he went to the doctor because "something was wrong...he was getting breathless running uphill". There was nothing physically wrong, but Dad knew that something wasn't right: the breathlessness caused quite alarming whoops and gasping noises!

Anyway, I showed him your powerful breathing techniques, which he has practiced every day since and the breathlessness or, more the point, the desperate noises went away.
On, on he runs.

Kind regards,
Cathy King

Hello,

Friends of ours have the set and lent them to us to try (Sam surfs, I don't). We both find your dvds the best instructional yoga dvds we have ever come across, with the added bonus that Peggy focuses on poses aimed at surfers, although I get just as much benefit from them.

We find the pace, transitions and poses are all perfect for what we have been seeking in a dvd yoga set. We even prefer your set to classes, as not only are the workouts exactly what we are looking for, but we can do it at our own convenience, a huge bonus in our busy (read hectic) lives.

We are both often tight in our upper backs due to jobs that involve not only a lot of desk work but also contain much driving around, we have found running through YFS 1 even if merely once or twice a week completely remedies this tightness for both of us.

We have found YFS 2 to be a great workout which has proven fantastic when there is no surf (for him) or as a general workout for me. I'm yet to complete this one, Sam is much fitter than I -- he runs and does weights most days and surfs on top of that -- and he was a trembly sweaty mess at the end of it. That said I'm sure once we have our own copy we will be able to master it in a few weeks/months and be ready to tackle YFS 3, though I doubt we will ever be able to make it look as effortless as Peggy!

I bought the second set as a gift to give to friends (he surfs, she doesn't; he has traditionally 'bah hum-bugged' yoga but is now interested due to our, and our friends, own enthusiasm for your dvd set).

We have another friend who has copied his YFS dvd tracks to audio CD so he can take it traveling, and practice your yoga when there isn't a TV or DVD around - he knows the dvd back to front and just uses the audio CD to prompt him through the poses. I thought I'd mention this to you, just in case you hadn't thought of the potential for an audio CD/MP3 in your merchandise range.

Apologies for all the the gushing, but we really are extremely pleased with your dvd set!

Warmest regards,

Hi Peggy and David,

I'm looking forward to trying YFS! I live about 10-15 minutes from Galveston island, and have been surfing the gulf coast for the last 20 years. Not exactly a surf trip destination, but we get waves fairly consistently.

In any case, when it's flat, I usually jog, lift, and ride my skateboard. My sister has been doing yoga for10 years or so, and she has been trying to convince me that yoga would be much better for my strength, endurance, and flexibility. I ran this across a few of my surfing
buddies, and one of them told me they got YFS last Christmas as a gift. He said it was a great workout nd recommended that I try it. I'm hoping it gets me out of counting reps and into enjoying the moment during workouts.

Thanks,

Dear Peggy & David

I read about your videos in a surf mag, then logged onto your website. I am now using the first video and loving it. As I work as a Drama teacher at a surfside High School in Coffs Harbour, NSW, Australia, where lots of the kids surf, I thought it would be great to share these videos with my students.

I particularly like the role modelling of fit & strong women surfers like Rochelle & Peggy.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Hello Peggy,

I received the YFS dvd', they are AWSOME!!! I'll let you know the results and improvement which I'm sure it will come out great.

I'm getting ready for a surf week in Peru next month in Peñascal (www.peruazul.com or www.penascal.com)
at a great surf posada where I stay and keep my board. I heavily recommend this place for a trip to Peru.
The host Antonio is a long time surfer in Peru, a great cool guy, speaks English, knows all the spots, arranges trips to Chicama, and everywhere else, and the meals Fiorella (his wife) cooks are heavenly.

Thanks for the newsletter, I'll share it with my girlfriend who loves dogs and is learning to surf.

My surfing buddy (an American) suddenly began surfing much better. I asked what had happened. She said "I know it sounds corny but I have started doing "Yoga for Surfers". My husband wanted to join in but had never done yoga before so I bought the dvds so we could do them together.

Hello Peggy,

I want to take a moment here to let you know I have been working with the Yoga for Surfers I video since March and this week I had a breakthrough into being able to do most of Yoga for Surfers II, (after some unsuccessful attempts). It was a red letter day for me. I absolutely LOVE these videos. They are by far the most enjoyable yoga videos I've ever owned. The background scenery, the surfing footage, the yoga poses, the wonderful music, You, David, Taylor and Rochelle, all of it -just wonderful! I look so forward to this part of my day. I wish I were living in Hawaii and surfing and doing yoga every day. I currently live up here in Washington State and am just taking Kite-surfing lessons. Thank you for putting together such excellent videos. I have recommended them to my close friends. I like them so much that I am hoping someday you might do alternate versions of levels I and II. In any case, I say,"Namaste" and a big ,"Thank you Peggy, David, Rochelle, Taylor, musicians, and film crew" after each session! My best and my love to all of you!

I actually had a friend who had rented your video from the libary and even though I don't surf I fell in love with part two. It's the only workout video I ever kept up with. a different friend of mine and I had started walking and wanted to do an in home exercise during the hot summer and I remembered your video. I looked it up online and appreciated the timely fashion in which it arrived. I look forward to the results.
Thanks so much,

Had a friend who works at Huntington Surf & Sport lend me the video about a year ago. I was having major problems with my knees for about 5 years, spent thousands in doctor and therapy bills, had four shots of cortisone and was very depressed. I'm only 33. I'd been to a yoga class, but it felt like an aerobics class. I prefer being solo in my home. Used the video, fell in love with it because it didn't make me
feel dorky, and used it daily for months. I was able to rid my knee problems because of it by becoming more aware of what was going on in my body and how it affected my knees. I have volume three, but needed two so that I could replace the loaner copy.

Please let Peggy know how grateful I am for her style and ability to make yoga a part of my everyday life.

Thanks,

I LOVE YOUR DVD, I am actually a snowboarder/mountain biker in the summer who lives in Whistler BC. I moved to Maui for a year to study massage and learned how to surf. Now I travel four months a year to go surfing. Even thought your dvds are for surfers, I still enjoy them weekly. I just like to the way Peggy speaks. She doesn't annoy me like most other dvds. If you are making new dvd, try to not go so fast, my boyfriend is learning and it’s hard for him to follow. Thank you.

keep the great work,

Peggy!! I read your articles and they are fascinating!!! I'm so glad to have met you and to be able to finally ask someone who knows what they are talking about for nutritional advice. I've been pretty good at staying on track, although I do veer off my program here and there. (especially when cheese is in the picture, hahaha) But I have joined the gym and am now doing 45min of cardio 4 times a week in addition to weight training and yoga.

I have every intention of continuing to eat healthier not only for my general health but also because my digestive issues have practically vanished!! YEEEEE. I thank you soo much for your help -- you don’t know how grateful I am!
THANK YOU AGAIN.

Hi Peggy,

I saw my question printed in your April newsletter and wanted to let you know since we spoke I really took on board what you said and last weekend had a bit of a break through with my surfing!!

I haven’t had many opportunities to surf since we spoke. However this last weekend surfed three days in a row. I had a different attitude and a lot more confidence. I was able to paddle out with confidence in a location I would usually not surf, however the conditions were right and I managed to catch wave after wave and was getting to my feet a lot faster and riding the waves!!

There has been no surf since but I’m amping to get back out there!!!
Thanks again!

Dear Peggy & David,

I was at this great record shop in Hollywood; they have all kinds of videos, tapes, dvds, you name it. So I was looking thru the yoga dvds and found your "Yoga for Surfers 2" and decided to give it a try; low and behold I fell in love with the dvd and decided to get your the next dvd.

I hope you'll come out with more yoga dvds so I can get more to add to my collection!

I do YFS II 4-5 times a week & am still thoroughly loving it! You’re so motivating & positive – a great start to my day.

Everyone on my dragonboat team had to do a fit test at the beginning of our winter training season in January. My max bench press weight was 155 lbs (this didn’t mean anything to me – but apparently that’s good according to my coach) – I know this was mainly a result of doing yoga on a regular basis – thx to YFS!!

We start paddling practice next week on the water – can’t wait. YFS is a regular part of my life & fitness training. Thank you!
Can’t wait to try Yoga for Boardsports when it comes out. Thanks again!
Kind regards

I actually heard about your yoga series from various surf people in my area. I bought YFS I from the store and saw there were two more. I rented a download version of YFS II from TotalVid online. I really liked it and was looking for it in some stores, but decided it would be easier to order online. And, instead of ordering from Amazon or ebay or wherever I decided to order straight from you. I've only taken one surf lesson in my life in January 2006 when visiting Maui, but I found that Yoga For Surfers really helped improve my overall balance, flexibility and endurance in other sports too like volleyball.

Hi guys,
I have YFS 1 and 2 and I love it! I surf and I windsurf and it really helps work out the kinks! I got this one to give to one of my buddies. I'm passing the word.

Peggy,

Thank you for the awesome private class Sunday morning. My wife and I are now looking to take a Yoga class on a weekly basis! We were both a little sore from your class but I guess that's to be expected especially from a novice Yoga person. Thanks again,

My friend has YFS I. He says it's been great for him. I actually went to Katin and Frog House to purchase it, but both places were sold out of YFS I, only had II. I actually viewed YFS I this weekend at my friends, and figured I must have it!

Aloha,
I heard about your DVDs from a guy I surf with at the "Cliffs" in Huntington Beach. He said it help him to loosen up before he goes surfing and also helped him to minimize his back pain. I'm looking forward to receiving your DVD! Mahalo, VK

I got your dvds yesterday, started the first dvd this morning, great video! I need to start with the first dvd and work my way up. I am looking forward to getting more flexible with your program. Great videos, thanks!

Dear Peggy:

Just a short note to offer again my thanks and appreciation. Your great Yoga for Surfers DVD's have been an inspiration to me! It’s now been just shy of a year and the results not only with surfing but my other passion, tennis, is remarkable. I feel stronger and most importantly, the flexibility which I had in my 20's and 30's is back!! Surfing year round in New England, especially in winter when water temps hit 38 degrees demands a lot of flexibility. I use your breathing exercises and the yoga breathing at work, during big tennis points and always when I am paddling back out to the lineup.

Any more videos on the horizon? I am wearing out II and III!!

I actually have purchased YFS II and III from you previously. This purchase was made for my friend, who also surfs, and didn't know about it. It's a small present for him! Thank you for a wonderful workout! It energizes me through the day as well as prepping me for surfing!

Hello, I'm actually a previous customer. I already have and have used YFS II and III. I really enjoy YFS II. It healed my back in three months. I had to reorder it because I use it so much at work and home that I have to replace it. Thanks for making such good workout dvd's.

We have been using your video at our Fire Station (LA Co Fd Station 116 in Carson) for a while. One of our guys brought it in. It’s about time I got one for home....

Thanks

Wow, what an amazing video. I feel great afterwards and look forward to my next surf session. I know this is YFS III: Unleashed, but the workouts move a little too quickly, I think though that I should have had some idea about yoga before I started your DVD. Regardless I can already tell the difference in my balance and it's only day 2. I'm taking it slow and just doing what I feel comfortable with. The emphasis on surfing really comes through and I'm really happy with that. You guys did a great job.

A friend from Hawaii was visiting me in Australia, and he always carries a copy of Yoga for Surfers with him.

Over the past year I have been waking up a little stiff each morning after big days of surfing or kiting, and I am hoping the yoga will eliminate some of this.

Hi Peggy, just wanted to say a quick hello and let you know that I am still loving Yoga for Surfers III. I do it nearly every day and I can do some of the poses that I thought I would never be able to do. I'm finding scorpion pose my biggest challenge but I'm getting there slowly. I bought a copy of the DVD for my boss too and now he is hooked as well - so many mahalos for giving us something that is so beneficial.

I've been doing Yoga for Surfers for two years now and I'd first like to say thank you very much for bringing out the DVDs. You wouldn't believe how much fitter I am than two years ago - and of course, the increased fitness has improved my surfing immensely.

I've been alternating between YFS II and YFS III and I'm just wondering if you are planning on brining out a YFS IV? If not, what suggestions do you have for mixing up my routine with a little bit of variety?
