Note that meal times might vary each day depending on daily schedule. Also upon booking we will send a form asking for your dietary needs or preferences and where you can list any allergies.
Yoga
While practicing yoga in this relaxed tropical environment you will feel more connected to the ocean and to nature than ever. You will also become more aware of and in tune with your body. Our classes are well rounded flows that will complement your surf practice during the retreat.
Morning classes will be energetic, strong moving flows to support strength and flexibility, preparing ourselves for the day. Evening classes will be more focused on stretching out tired muscles, relaxing and cultivating a meditative mind to wind down before dinner. Deep shoulder stretches are promised after a day of paddling among the waves.
The retreat is suitable for all levels and modifications for poses will be offered so everyone can join the practice. We strongly encourage beginner yogis to join us, as this is a wonderful opportunity to find the inspiration to start a personal practice. For experienced yogis, this is a great place to deepen your existing practice and continue to grow.
Surf Sessions
Our surf sessions are designed for all levels, whether you’re stepping into the ocean for the first time or looking to build more confidence in your surfing.
You’ll receive personalized, one-on-one guidance throughout the retreat, allowing you to progress at your own pace and focus on what you need most. We understand that fear can be a big part of the surfing journey, and instead of pushing it aside, we work with it, helping you feel more comfortable, in control, and supported in the water.
With a thoughtful and encouraging approach, these sessions go beyond technique. You’ll learn how to better understand the ocean, build trust in yourself, and develop the confidence to keep improving long after the retreat.
Adventure
Nestled between three majestic volcanoes, Cerro Verde National Park features a dense forest with exotic plants and animal life. Here we will hike to the top of Ilamatepec where you can take in the stunning views of the crater, the Volcano Itzalco and Lake Coatepeque. You will be amazed by the colour of the turquoise laguna below and the many layers of volcanic rock. At 2381m, Ilamatepec is El Salvador’s highest volcano.
