As well as yoga, Sarah at Tamraght Yoga Studio also teaches Yamuna Body Rolling.Yamuna Body Rolling uses different sized, inflatable balls to realign and create space within your body. Using your body weight, the Yamuna balls apply pressure to different parts of your body to release stress and ease pain, starting first with your bones and then continuing onto your muscles and tendons.   At Azrac Surf we believe that yoga and surfing are married together in one crazy, body-positive union and after a long day of battling the surf, nothing beats a good stretch and unwind with yoga.
