Schedule
Weekdays
With the Surf & Yoga Package you will learn to surf (including theory) on 5 consecutive days, Monday to Friday, and strengthen or relax and recover physically and mentally with an hour of yoga both before and after surfing.
Weekend
Saturday and Sunday can be used for excursions to the surrounding area (e.g. Lisbon, Sintra or Cascais), for lazing on the beach or by the pool, or you can take advantage of the numerous leisure activities on offer in the area, such as horse riding, climbing, hiking, mountain biking, diving… and and and and (whatever you feel like – we make it happen!).
Daily routine
You start the day with a gentle morning meditation and a yoga class aimed at building flexibility, strength and self-confidence for surfing. Then there is a delicious organic breakfast so that you can start the day full of energy. After breakfast, you will be picked up by our surf instructors for the surf course and taken to the most beautiful beaches in the region to learn how to surf or ride waves together. The choice of surf spots will of course depend on your ability and the wind and wave conditions. During a short breather between the two surf sessions, you will regain your strength with a delicious snack that we have prepared for you. After the surf lessons, there will be a yoga session in the early evening to relax and stretch your muscles and ligaments to recover more quickly from surfing and to start the evening. Afterwards, everyone does what they feel like doing. Enjoy a sunset meal together on the terrace, relax with a refreshing drink or tea by the pool, in front of the fireplace or with a book in your cozy room. We are sure that you will find what makes you happiest with the wide range of options available.
What to expect
After a week, you will have surfed standing up for the first time, improved your yoga skills and met great like-minded people. You’ll feel fit and relaxed enough for everyday life at home, take some great memories with you and look forward to the next time. However, for all those who want more deep relaxation and “real” surfing, we recommend booking at least 2 weeks. You actually need this to really switch off and have even more fun in the waves.
