The art of wave riding, blends physical challenge with the humbling appreciation for the raw beauty and power of nature. When we learn to flow in all aspects of life, we cultivate Trust and Surrender. It is from this place that we may rise above our resistances and meet our true potential.

Riding waves with a wooden board originated in Western Polynesia over three thousand years ago. "He'enalu" or wave-sliding is old Hawaiian; "He'e" means to change from a solid form to a liquid form and "nalu" refers to the surfing motion of a wave.

It is with this sentiment that we invite you to bring more flow into your own life on this long weekend Surf & Yoga Retreat in Portugal. Allow yourself to surrender and let go at our beautiful farm secluded in a stunning forest near Ericeira surf town.

Our morning practice is designed to open up the body, expand the breath and cultivate presence through a beautiful expansive Hatha Yoga & Qi Gong.

A delicious organic seasonal farm breakfast with refreshments follows under the dappled light of the farmhouse terrace grapevine canopy.

Head to the beach where you learn to ride the waves on the great Atlantic coast here in Portugal.

Surf sessions are tide dependent so our schedule is fluid to avoid surfing at high tide. Of course, if you’d rather do nothing and chill in the sun on the beach or retreat all day that’s also fine.

Dry yourself off for a rustic vegetarian farm lunch with seasonal vegetables or our seashore picnic hamper so you don't miss a wave.

Free time for exploring, nature walks, swimming, massage, acupuncture, biodynamic craniosacral therapy, sauna and relaxation.

Rest and reset.

Dinner under the stars; hear the sounds of the neighbourly creatures; the owl, the wolf and the deer as you nourish your minds and body with delicious food and good company.

Complete your day with a candlelit evening practice featuring; Yin & Restorative Yoga, Qi Gong, Meditation & Sound Baths
