It is being their greatest inspiration to combine yoga sessions with outdoor activities like kitesurfing, surfing, and SUP boarding.

Program
With this program, you will start your journey in the Shala with an early yoga practice. Then you will enjoy a healthy breakfast prepared with love and a smile.
The team of Guincho Wayra House believes that surfing and rock climbing combines perfectly with yoga. The postures are practiced to align, strengthen, and promote flexibility in the body. Breathing techniques (pranayama) and meditation are also integrated on this package.
The schedule of surfing and climbing activities will depend on the weather conditions such as winds and tides. Normally, the team will inform you the night before so that you can organize yourself in case you want to visit places of interest or participate in other activities that they offer in the Hostel.
