Yoga for surfers with Shyva Studio and Wellness
DATE:
Saturday, October 26, 10am to 11am
Yoga for surfing actively helps you progress in your practice. Many surfers have discovered that yoga brings health to the body and clarity to the mind, but it also has a very positive effect on surfing. This is natural, as yoga strengthens the body, makes it more flexible and improves concentration, allowing you to focus more on achieving your goals.
Shyva Yoga and Wellness is a holistic fitness studio located in the Islane district of Agadir. The studio stands out for its unique hybrid approach, harmoniously blending the disciplines of yoga, Pilates and strength training to create a complete wellness experience. Yoga classes are varied and cater for all levels and tastes, whether you’re drawn to the graceful flow of vinyasa, the muscle-building practice of power yoga or the original experience of air yoga. The studio also offers traditional yoga classes and Pilates sessions.
Hatha Total Balance with Shyva Studio and Wellness
DATE:
Sunday, October 27, 10am to 11am
Yoga asanas can be practiced both before a surf session (in addition to the warm-up) and afterwards. Yoga has a positive effect on energy levels, stamina, confidence, concentration and focus. Different yoga asanas can help improve certain aspects of surfing – better endurance will help you paddle longer without tiring, asana-strengthened arms, shoulders and back will affect wave catching speed and fluidity of movement. Balance is linked to the development of ligamentous and skeletal muscle stability, as well as to coordination and neurological training (gaze fixation) – something we actively practice in yoga. Awareness and concentration will help you catch more waves and be more focused during a surf session. What’s more, after surfing, yoga will help you relax and recover more quickly for your next outing.

Surfi M3ana & Surf Expo
DATE:
Daily from 11:30am to 12pm and from 3:30pm to 4pm
As part of our commitment to environmental stewardship, two beach clean-ups will be organized each day to clean up Anchor Point beach, in partnership with the Surfi M3ana association. We invite all Taghazout Surf Expo participants to join us in this initiative! Together, we can make a difference and set an example for sustainable practices in the surfing world. We want to ensure that this iconic surf spot remains unspoiled for surfers and visitors alike, by engaging the community in a collective effort.
Participation in the beach clean-up not only contributes to a cleaner environment, but also fosters a sense of responsibility and community among surfers. An educational session will be offered on the subjects of ocean preservation, the effects of plastic pollution and the importance of preserving and protecting our surf spots.
How can you join us? The beach clean-up team will be identifiable and will provide participants with all the necessary equipment (gloves, rubbish bags, etc.).
