Program
With the physician, surfer, and certified yoga teacher, you will have the opportunity to experience the classic teachings of the millenary yoga Sámkhya philosophy, working the 14 technical disciplines for a complete, natural, healthy, and joyful personal development that manifests in a much more profitable surfing experience. The technical disciplines include dhyána / samádhi, pujá, kryá, mantra / kírtana, pránáyáma, asana, yoga Nidrá, bandha, japa tala, japa shesha, yantra, mudrá, nyása, and mánasika.
With the early morning yoga sessions, you can slowly connect to your inner self, wake up with the ocean's breeze energy, and prepare your body's muscles for paddling, standing up, ridding waves, and to avoid injuries. These sessions can take place on the beach, surf school’s deck, or studio according to group preferences and / or weather conditions.
Furthermore, through conscious breathing exercises, you can enhance your endurance in the water and with a focused mind, you can make better wave choices as well as follow more precisely the experienced surf teacher's advice. You can also stretch and relax your body, recharge your mind, and get prepared for more exciting life to come.
In addition, the aim of this retreat is to promote a state of receptiveness that will allow you to fully enjoy the connection with the vast Atlantic Ocean, its waves, and its people, in the beautiful part of the Portuguese coastline. Lastly, whether you’re experienced or beginner in yoga or surf, you are always welcome to participate in this program.
