Uyawazi lowo mzuzu lapho uguqe ngamadolo empilweni yangempela, ukulangazelela okuthile okunyakazisa isimiso sakho ngaphandle kokuchoboza umphefumulo wakho? Ngakhubeka kanjalo ku-SUP yoga. Hhayi ngoba ngiyinkosi ethile ye-zen-isihogo cha. Ngoba ngangikhubeka phezu kwezinyawo zami izikhathi eziningi kakhulu ekilasini elivamile le-yoga, futhi amanzi ayebonakala… athambile.
Isithombe seLake Tahoe ehlobo eledlule. Kuthuleke uDawn uzwe izamula izinhlanzi. Ngidonsa leli bhodi lokugwedla elimangalisayo elibheke ogwini (ukuthola ithiphu: ukuqasha amasondo ebhodini lakho, noma izingalo zenu zinizonde). Amanzi ayabanda uma ngicwilisa uzwane phakathi. “Khipha,” Ngiyabubula, kanye ne-belly-flop ebhodini. Imizuzu eyishumi, Ngivele ngilale lapho, isihlathi sicindezelwe ku-vinyl, ngibuka ama-minnows agida ngaphansi kwami. Akukho ukuma. Akukho ukuvelela. Mina nje kanye nechibi esinomncintiswano wokugqolozela. Leso isifundo sokuqala: I-SUP yoga iqala lapho uyeka ukuzama ukwenza kahle kuyo.
Kungani Amanzi Eshintsha Konke (Ngaphandle Kwezingubo Zakho)
Ezweni, i-yoga ingazizwa njengengxoxo namandla adonsela phansi. Emanzini? Kuyingxoxo egcwele nezinxushunxushu. Ibhodi lakho akuwona umhlaba ozinzile-iyinto ephilayo. Iphefumula ngamagagasi. Iyandiza lapho amadada etshuza eduze. Eyami yokuqala “inja eyehlayo” kwagcina ngokuthi ngidle isiziba ngoba ngase ngikhohlwe iqiniso elilodwa: amanzi akhulisa ukungabaza. Uma ungena ngaphakathi, ibhodi liphonsa umsindo.
Ngifunde le Warrior III emaphakathi. Elule izingalo, umlenze wesokudla untanta emva kwami, ngizizwa njengomuntu omubi… kwaze kwaba yilapho kugingqika isikebhe esinesivinini. Ibhodi lahlakazeka. Ingqondo yami yakhala “PHUMELA!” Imisipha ivaliwe. Splash. Ukuhamba kwesikhathi, umfundisi wami uCarla wahleka: “Waqina. Amanzi ezwa ukwesaba. Esikhathini esizayo, gxuma nayo. Yiba ukhula lwasolwandle, hhayi isifanekiso.”
Gear Amaqiniso Akekho Okutshelayo
Ibhodi: Iphutha le-rookie yami? Ukuqasha ibhodi lokugwedla lomjaho elithambile(“Isendalini!”). Iphutha elikhulu. Amabhodi amancane = amajeneretha okukhathazeka. Okufunayo i-yoga ye-SUP elingana nenqola yesiteshi se-Volvo—ububanzi (34″+), obukhulu (5-6″), nge-grippe mat. Okwami 11 izinyawo zokuzinza kwe-turquoise okuthiwa “Bertha.” Akathandeki, kodwa uyangimisa.
I-Paddle: Musa nje ukuyibeka eceleni ngesikhathi sokumisa. Yibeke ebhodini lakho njengethrekhi yesitimela. Kuyisikhombi sakho esibonakalayo lapho isiyezi sifika. (Indaba yangempela: Ngake ngachitha i-Boat Pose emhlophe-ngishaya i-paddle yami njengesabha esilula. Kwasiza.)
Izingubo: Lelo thangi likakotini elihle? Kuyisipontshi esinokuzisola. Gqoka indwangu eyoma ngokushesha engeke ikudonsele phansi uma (hhayi uma) uyagxumela. Futhi ngenxa kaNkulunkulu, vikela ilanga ezinyaweni zakho. Ngachitha isonto inyanga ngihamba phezu kwamabhamuza esithendeni.
Ungaminzi Kanjani 101: Umhlahlandlela Wesinyathelo Ngesinyathelo Wobble
Isigaba 1: Yiba Umngane Namanzi (Ukuhlala/Ukuguqa)
Amaminithi 0-5: Hlala uphambanise imilenze. Vala amehlo akho. Qaphela indlela ibhodi:
Amadwala uma uhogela umoya
Ihlala lapho ukhipha umoya
Itshekisa lapho i-bass igxuma kwesokunxele sakho (ukwesaba kweqiniso)
Amaminithi 5-15: Guqa. Zama Cat-Cow. Izwa izinqe zakho zinyakaza namanzi, hhayi ngokumelene nayo. “Umgogodla wakho mawube yigatsha lomzane,” UCarla wayezohamba ngendiza. ngiyacabanga “Okufana nokweminyezane edakiwe.” Kodwa kuyasebenza.
Isigaba 2: I-Great Stand-Up Betrayal
Ukuma kuwumdlalo wengqondo. Imilenze yakho izovevezela. Ibhodi lakho lizokhala. Yenza lokhu:
1. Tshala izandla zibe ububanzi behlombe.
2. Beka unyawo olulodwa phansi ngaphansi kwesinqe sakho.
3. Phusha uye ku-squat ephansi (“Ukuma Kwexoxo”), izandla zisaphansi.
4. Phefumula. Vumela amagwebu adlule njenge-karaoke embi.
5。Vuka kancane—intshi nge-intshi—ugcine amadolo egobile.
Kungani lokhu kusebenza? Awulwi nebhalansi. Uxoxisana ngomfutho.
Izimo Ezingeke Zikulahle (Ngokushesha)
“Kuphephile” Ukuma kwabasanda kuhlanganyela:
| Ukuma | Kungani Isebenza | Ukuhlola Kwangempela |
| I-Pose Yengane | Isikhungo esiphansi samandla adonsela phansi. Uzwa sengathi ukwanga isihlenga. | Ikhala lakho lizoba manzi. Kwamukele. |
| Ehlezi Twist | Amanzi akhulisa i-wring yomgogodla. Kuzwakala kumangalisa. | Musa ukusonta kanzima. Amanzi enza ingxenye yomsebenzi. |
| Ibhuloho | Ama-hip lift azinze ngendlela emangalisayo emanzini. | Gcina izinyawo zibe nobubanzi be-hip-wid noma uzoshelela ububanzi. |
| I-Tree Pose | Ha! Ingqondo. Londoloza lokhu kosuku 3. | Ngiyadlala. Ungakwenzi. Nokho. |
“I-Splash Zone” Ukuma (Zama Noma kunjalo):
I-Boat Pose: I-Core burner. Ukhiye: Bheka emkhathizwe, hhayi izinzwane. Izinzwane = i-vertigo.
IQhawe II: Isikhali esiyimfihlo: Zika amahips AMANDLA kunasemhlabeni. Amanzi ayakusekela.
I-Camel Pose: Kuyenzeka ngokumangalisayo! Kungani: Amanzi aphakamisa inhliziyo yakho. Ingozi: Over-arch = i-backflip.
Ukuwa: Isiko Elingcwele
Ukuwa kwami kokuqala kwaba ukwethuka. Izitho ezivulekayo. Phakamisa ikhala lami. Ukushaqeka kwamakhaza.
Ukuwa #5? ngihleke ngesisu. Ngoba:
Ukuwa iqala kabusha isimiso sakho sezinzwa (lokho kuphefumula kuyinkinobho yokusetha kabusha yemvelo).
It uyazithoba. (Ayikho into efana nedada elikubuka ubhuquza.)
Ukukhuphuka emuva? Eyakho leyo ukunqoba kwangempela.
Ukuwa kanjani “kwesokudla”:
- Ungakulwisi. Ukuqina = i-belly flop. Hamba limp = dive clean.
2. Vala ikhanda lakho. Amabhodi agxuma ngokungalindelekile.
3. Khuphukela emuva SIDEWAYS: Hambisa kwisitimela esikude, ukukhahlela njenge-mermaid, gibela phezulu.
Umlingo Ongakhulunywa: Kungani i-SUP Yoga Sticks
Ngemuva kwezinyanga ezintathu ze-SUP yoga, Ngaqaphela okuthile: Ngangingengcono nje ebhodini. Ngehlise umoya. Kungani?
1. Amandla Amanzi Ubukhona
I-yoga yomhlaba ivumela ingqondo yakho ukuba izule (“Ngikhokhe isikweletu sikagesi...?”). Emanzini? Ingqondo ezulazulayo = imbongolo emanzi. Uyafunda gxila noma ubhukude.
2. Ukungapheleli Kuba Iphuzu
Ukuma kwegwababa lami kusabukeka njenge-seagull elimele. Kodwa manje ngiyawugubha 2 imizuzwana ngazulazula. Inqubekelaphambili ayiqondile-iyantenga.
3. Ujoyina Isigqi Semvelo
Ukusa okukodwa, phakathi ne-savanna, ibhiva lashaya umsila eduze kwebhodi lami. Angizange ngigxume. Amamatheke nje. Lapho uhamba namanzi, uyeka ukuba isigebengu. Uba yingxenye ye-ecosystem.
Ukuhlakanipha kokugcina okuvela eChibini
I-SUP yoga ngeke ikwenze udume nge-Instagram (ngaphandle uma uwe ngokudala). Izokunikeza:
Ama-Goosebumps lapho i-heron itshuza idlula iQhawe II lakho
Izintende zezandla ezithambile ekudonseni ibhodi lakho
Ikhono lokuhleka ngobuhlanya bakho
Evikini eledlule, wangibuza umuntu omusha: “Ngingazinza kanjani lapha ngaphandle?” Ngimnike isigwedlo sami. “Yeka ukuzama ukuzinza. Yiba uketshezi esikhundleni salokho.”
Wawa kathathu emizuzwini eyishumi. Kodwa lapho ekugcineni emile, amadolo agobile, izingalo ububanzi, ukumoyizela okwengane eskateboard? Leso yisimo sangempela.
Ibhalansi ayiphathelene nokuthula. Kumayelana ukuthola isikhungo sakho ngenkathi yonke into ihamba.
Ngakho hamba uthole ichibi lakho. Ngelani phakathi. Khuphuka ubuye. Futhi khumbula:
“Amanzi awasona isitha sakho - ngumlingani wakho wokudansa. Futhi ngezinye izikhathi, Abalingani bomdanso banyathela ezinyaweni zakho.”
