don't have to skate or do yoga to skateboard yoga; it's a state of mind
![]()
SkateboardYoga.com is an entertainment site,
with a slant towards skateboarding/yoga, but not exclusively.
Our love for comedy, art, acting & philosophy is mixed in as well.
Skateboard Yoga was first daydreamed in the summer of 2005, in NYC.
Theo was doing a backbend on his living room carpet with a yoga block, and it didn't provide a high enough arch.
He had a skateboard near him, so he put it on the carpet, and the yoga block on top of that,
and the combination provided the height Theo was looking to achieve.
After that, he would do his backbends with the yoga block & skateboard together almost every day.
One time when his future wife asked, "what are you doing?" when she saw this odd behavior,
in an eureka moment, Theo said, "SKATEBOARD YOGA,"
And like Edison must have felt when he invented the light bulb, or more like the commercial where the chocolate goes into the peanut butter,
Theo knew he was creating something new.
Theo also realized that skaters sometimes looked like they were in yoga poses, when they were riding or midair.
Mostly he just smiled whenever he thought of those two words together.
It became a mantra, that Theo thought others would dig too.
breath in, peace out.
namaste bro. much love.
