YAY! You have booked yourself a retreat. That is a beautiful step. You are carving time out of your regular life and routine to do something caring for yourself! You are putting your health and wellness in the highest regard, what a gift!

Here are some simple tips to get the most out of your retreat experience by preparing before you go!

Join us for a week long adventure in magical Morocco as we explore as a community of sisterhood from the desert to the sea. We will travel to the remote southern region of Morocco to experience an authentic seaside fishing village. Stunning remote coastlines dot this region, backed by the Anti Atlas Mountains, with vast stretches of sandy beaches. You will find empty surf line-ups of all types of breaks: point, beach, lefts, rights and for all surf capabilities from newcomer to advanced. As we experience this journey together, we will work on opening our hearts and minds to new adventures, cultures, friends and our inner possibilities.

Hola desde Mexico!!!!!!!!!

The cyclical nature of our existence is unavoidable. The waxing and waning of the moon and its pull on the tides, its pull on the waters in our own bodies (especially as women we are rhythmically connected to this moon cycle). 

On the other side of this cyclical nature is another certain bet, change. Everything changes. Our only constant is depending on the certainty of change. Seasons change and with it weather and ocean patterns across the globe. Plants seed, sprout, flower and decompose, returning to the earth to feed new life. 

We are excited to announce three new locations for this upcoming 2018-2019 season! 

1) August 18-24th and August 24-30th in PLAYA GRANDE- Costa Rica: All Inclusive Surf Progression Retreat with Chapin Kreuter 

In Playa Grande we will be staying at a super sweet boutique hotel just steps off of the sand and the beach break we will be surfing as much as possible each day. This retreat is a great opportunity to progress your surfing ability with technical video analysis after each session and a lot of ocean time! We will unwind with restorative yoga and have plenty of time for some adventure and relaxation! This retreat location is super convenient as it is only 1 hour away from the international airport Liberia. Your airport transfers are included in your stay! 

Green Goodness…Moringa Pesto… Madrono Farm…Nicaraguan Campo Life

My good fortune is the ingredients are only steps away. Picking basil and arugula
from my herb garden and young moringa leaves from one of the numerous trees
planted on the property. Tossing all into the food processor with a handful of
peanuts and cashews grown on our farm, Las Salinas sea salt harvested some
kilometres up the coast and let the machine do it’s magic. To heat it up, I throw in a
minced scotch bonnet pepper from the garden. Move and smooth all the ingredients,
by adding a little oil, choice is yours. Staying close to home, I drizzle in coconut oil
my friend and neighbour is making. Then there are all the possible add-ins,
nutritional yeast, parmesan, roasted garlic…

“Being fully present isn’t something that happens once and then you have achieved it; it’s being awake to the ebb and flow and movement and creation of life, being alive to the process of life itself…” — Pema Chodron

Two wheels, open road, no timeline. Just freedom and my thoughts.

Are you ready to take your surfing to the next level? 

Do you want to complete your turns? Use the whole face of the wave and transition from getting speed to doing bigger turns with more speed and ease?

Check out this awesome video from our Surf Video Coach Chapin Kreuter. Chapin breaks it down for us in simple terms, as we watch Malia Manuel at Kelly Slater's wave pool: 

There are a lot of reasons to treat yourself to a Yoga Surf Retreat.. here are our favs...

1) Get Out of Your Comfort Zone!!!

Out of your comfort zone is where all the magic happens. Growth, challenge and possibility exist when you don't know the answer or what comes next! Travelling to new locales is a great way to shake things up. By travelling to a new destination or trying a new activity (like surfing!!!!!!!) you are expanding your perceived limitations. If you have always done what you always do, you will only know what you already know. Learn, grow, and expand by trying something new and unknown! Better yet- if that unknown thing scares you, what is possible when you go for it anyways!? (Hint: ANYTHING)!!!!
