Small-scale holistic surf + yoga retreats for women
This is not a regular surf camp.
This is a surf + yoga experience for women who want to surf, enjoy nature, co-live, have fun and improve their overall wellbeing.
Learn to surf or improve your (beginner-intermediate) surfing skills, while balancing your nervous system and growing your confidence.
Through nourishing health practices and time in nature, you’ll restore both body and mind.
Our home for the week
We will stay at iSlow Coliving, in Laxe, a super friendly rural and modern coliving, close to the beach, hiking trails, and town center.
It has spacious rooms with private bathrooms, a communal kitchen, garden, indoor and outdoor workspaces and free wifi.
Surfing + Yoga
The Surf
These retreats are for beginner and beginner-intermediate surfers.
Depending on your level, we offer high-quality surf lessons for beginners, and customised coaching for intermediate surfers.
We collaborate with local surf schools and ISA certified coaches who know the area inside out and have more than 15 years of coaching experience.
The vibes are relaxed, female-friendly, and welcoming to all ages and backgrounds.
The Yoga
Begin your day with gentle hatha/vinyasa yoga, meditation, and pranayama (breathwork) to increase your flexibility and balance your nervous system.
Our classes are designed for surfers. Through gentle yoga and calming breathwork, you’ll nourish your body and mind while improving your surf mobility and strength.
We’ll also get into journaling exercises that help boost self-confidence and release limiting beliefs, so you return home feeling lighter and energized.
