Start surfing or bring your surfing skills to a whole other level! Yoga and surfing go together like the sea and saltwater. Both disciplines tap into a natural flow. Yoga gets you in touch with the rhythm of your breath and body, while surfing gets you in sync with the wave patterns and ocean tides. Special Hatha yoga postures help to strengthen the key physical points to the surfing practice, such as arms, legs, back, and wrists; minimizing the risk of injuries, and improving recovery time after a surf session. They help you focus your mind and supports your balance on the board. This vacation has been designed so that you can enjoy a different and quality vacation.

Yoga helps to strengthen the key physical points to the surfing practice, such as arms, legs, back, and wrists. It minimizes the risk of injuries and improves the recovery time after a surf session. By learning to know and accept your body, you'll improve your surf skills and bring your body feeling to a whole other level. By calming down the mind, you will be more focused and more concentrated in the water.
This surf camp will include Hatha yoga sessions, an energizing and revitalizing yoga to strengthen and tone your body structure and posture.

Location
This surf camp takes place in Ericeira, Portugal. Early in the morning, the misty veil slowly rains over the Portuguese Atlantic Coast and the first rays of sunlight fall warmly over the Surf Riders & CO - Surf Camp, dipping the flowers and palm trees in the garden into a light morning blush. The chirping of the little birds is the only noise you hear. Nestled among the rolling fields of lush green vegetation, stands the villas of the guesthouse Surf Riders & CO - Surf Camp, overlooking the region of Ericeira. Here, the world is still in order. Slowly, the clear air mixes with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Not only the Golden Heritage itself, but also its outdoor pool, the lovingly landscaped garden, and the countless chill-out and withdraw options leave nothing to be desired. Also, the surrounding area offers a lot.
For city lovers and explorers, the center of the beautiful city Ericeira (the first world surf reserve in Europe and second in the world and part of the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) world tour) and its many stunning beaches are within walking distance. For those who like to explore more of the Portuguese Atlantic Coast, the historical cities such as Óbidos, Sintra, Lisbon, Peniche, and Fatima are very close too. The whole coastline invites water sports enthusiasts to go surfing, sailing, diving, and canoeing, while land lovers come with hiking, golfing, biking, and many more activities at their expense.
