It’s been officially one year since I have launched this blog! It’s been quite a year of self discovery: yoga experiences, yoga festivals, marriage, surfing, Maui trips, and much more to come. Anyone who has been following me for the last year has noticed that I talk about surfing just as much as I talk about yoga, but I never really claim the title as “surfer”. The reason for this simple. A legacy surfer told me to try it for a year before earning the title of “surfer”. Well, it’s been a year, and surfing is here to stay. It’s a passion to say the least.
The last year of surfing has been an excited one. I bought my first Paragon Surfboard the “Mini-Log”, I have surfed in Maui, I have made “surf buddies”, and now I have integrated surfing into my life. I try to surf a couple of times a week if the tides and my work schedule permit it, and I am constantly looking at Surfline.
But what about yoga? Yoga is never going away. I have even been told from my surf buddies that I incorporate yoga teachings and practices into my surfing life. And, on occasion, I can even been seen practicing yoga in my wetsuit on the beach before and after a surf session (it’s good for your body, but more posts to come on that).
So, from now on, I am also a Scrappy Surfer. I will write blog posts on how I weave yoga into my surfing life and vice versa. I will still write on my latest yoga influences, classes and experiences as well. Life is all about expanding your horizons, right?
Readers, have any of your workout programs lead you to other passions? Or other workouts you love just as much? I would love to hear your thoughts!
You can now follow me on Instagram @ScrappyYoga for fun tips, beach pics, and much much more!

Surfing sounds so cool! Iβve always been very intimidated about trying it. Hmm, running got me into yoga out of necessity (the need to stretch since I was sooooo tight all the time). I havenβt been as active with it but trying to get back into it. I think itβs totally okay to take a break with one passion as long as you are doing something else that is nourishing your soul π
