Program

The daily timetable will be flexible, depending on the weather and ocean conditions to allow the guests to enjoy the best waves during the surfing lesson. At the surf school, you will find qualified instructors to guide you step by step and provide you with all of the necessary equipment. Then you can choose every day one of the two yoga lessons scheduled in the shala.

The one in the morning, at 08:00, will be more dynamic and energizing, based on a mix of Ashtanga, Vinyasa while the one in the afternoon, at 18:00, will be slower and based on a mix of Hatha, slow flow, and Restorative yoga with 30 minutes of yoga Nidra session included.

Yoga

Yoga is well known for its infinite benefits. Whether they’re physical; improving strength, and flexibility, building a sweat, recovering from injuries, or more on a meditative level promoting calmness, stillness, and relaxation. Through the use of asana, you become more aware of your body, and by incorporating breathing you create a moving meditation that brings awareness of your spiritual self.

The strengths and flexibility that come from dedicated yoga practice will at one point translate into your everyday lives, changing the way you deal with problems and situations. By practicing yoga you’ll learn discipline and challenge yourself on and off the mat without taking anything too seriously. This 8-wall Mongolian yurt, with its simple and elegant circular space, will support the practice, creating the right environment to find a perfect balance of focus, tranquility, and relaxation.

Surf

The school is innovative and highly professional and guarantees quality and safety during all the lessons. Once in the water, groups (maximum of 6 people per instructor) will be divided according to surf level and previous experience and every alumn will receive personalized instructions and feedback. The instructors, as experienced local surfers, know the Ericeira World Surfing Reserve perfectly and they choose every day the best spot and timetable for the lessons.

Whether you are an absolute beginner or an expert surfer, among the offers you’ll find the right package for you!

  • 1. Beginner

Beginner level is suitable for absolute beginners who want to learn the basics of surfing and for surfers who want to learn how to catch left and right green waves and improve their paddling technique to reach the lineup.

Location

Moka on the top of the hill just outside Ericeira, is an old fishermen's village featuring typical light-blue and white houses facing the ocean. Restaurants and nightclubs are increasingly crowded with tourists every year. You can enjoy the fresh fish that arrives daily at the little harbor and the warm welcome of the locals.

A few steps from the house there are some bars and restaurants and a supermarket.

Getting around is very easy: daily transfers to the beach and Ericeira are included in your pack! You can also use the bikes for free, take the bus which stops very close to the house, rent a scooter, or take a stroll and reach the two nearby beaches through beautiful trails.

Ericeira is also a perfect starting point for discovering the many attractions of the Estremadura region; not far from the famous old village of Sintra, one of the most popular historical well-known locations in Portugal and right above the Sintra and Cascais Natural Park, a charming location for those who love nature. Lisbon is easily reached by car or bus (around 40 minutes ride).

Distances

  • Restaurants, bar, and supermarket right in front of the house
