What to Expect from a Surf and Yoga Retreat

Surf and Yoga Retreats

Have you spotted our surf and yoga retreats and wondered if it might be your thing? Excited to sign up and keen for more info? Let’s take a look at what to expect, exactly how much fun you will have, and all the ways this weekend away is going to nourish your soul, connect you to some awesome people, and get you surfing. Think blissful, think rejuvenating, think ocean waves! Jess and Becky will be with you on the sea and on the sand, to guide you at every turn.

Why this mega combo? I hear you ask

Set at Bigbury beach on the beautiful South Devon coastline, this surf and yoga retreat is an absolute dreamboat of a weekend. It includes a bespoke yoga session focusing on surf-specific movements to hone your form and get in the zone. Not to mention tailored surf lessons from local instructors, complete with video analysis to enhance your skills. Surfing and yoga are a match made in heaven, both lean in to presence, joy and playfulness. Both ask us to be with our bodies and sense when we can press in, and when to ease back. Yoga is a focused way to improve balance both on the board and in our mind. It also strengthens the core, improves flexibility, reduces stress and invites us into a mindful place to enjoy the air, the sand, and the sea.

Give me the low down on food, please! 

October is the perfect time of year for it, the sea is at it’s warmest having basked in the sun all summer, the days are still light, and there’s nothing like a beach sunset after a day on, in and by the sea. The food is going to be something really special with delicious vegan meals all weekend, and we’ll heading to the Journey’s End pub on Saturday afternoon. In the evening you can unwind at the Mount Folly camping barn, in their eco-friendly outdoor spa, featuring wood-fired hot tub, sauna, and plunge pool. This is the perfect place for post-surf and yoga recovery. And to round the day off beautifully we’ll be watching an inspirational surf movie under the starts for those sleeping over.

Accommodation

You can expect a good night’s sleep with options available ranging from shared camp beds to cosy doubles ~ the perfect place to rest after a day of adventure. Nestled in nature, this simple barn stay offers a unique stay with views of Challaborough Bay with Bigbury beach just a short stroll away.
