Yoga & Surf Retreats
Daily yoga classes
During our retreats we teach Iyengar yoga which is a dynamic and physically intensive form of yoga where the focus is on correct alignment of the poses. This practice allows the energy to flow freely through the body.
All our yoga teachers are fully qualified and have done several years of training. During the retreats we teach different styles of yoga such as Iyengar, Hatha, Yin and Vinyasa.
Yoga for Surfers
The yoga practice focuses on core-strength and balance which have great benefits for surfing. Each class is a challenge and you will work your body. Sun salutations are a great way to strengthen the arms and the chest before surfing while forward bending and twisting are a great way to release the body after a day of surfing. Each session ends with at least 5 minutes of relaxation. Surfers and non-surfers of all levels can benefit from the classes. During our yoga & surf retreats guests will have one yoga class and one surf lesson per day.

Learning to surf in Peniche
Portugal and in particular the west coast around Peniche and Baleal offer some of the best conditions for surfing. For beginners as well as for more advanced surfers. We believe that students learn best in small groups where instructors can meet individual needs and skill levels. Our surf lessons are suited for different levels of experience from beginners to more advanced surfers. Our instructors will take their time to explain theory and practice of basic skills on the beach. We will provide you with all the equipment needed and a wetsuit that will keep you warm while surfing.
Surfing conditions are good all year round with bigger waves during Autumn and Winter and smaller waves in Spring and Summer.
