SWA head yoga teacher, Reesie Richards, chats about her background and introduction to body movement, which centers around dance and yoga. Since age 16, she practiced yoga and furthered her education with Paul Greeley, the “creator” of Yin yoga. She chats about the differences between Yin and restorative yoga and how she caters her yoga practice specifically for surfers at SWA retreats. Reesie’s yoga offers a space for all to experience freedom of expression. It is a hilarious and entertaining blend of relaxation and education about bodily functions. She emphasizes the difference between functional and aesthetic yoga, as well as the idea that different bodies are bound to move in varying ways.
