Surf and Yoga experiences tailored to you!

Just imagine kick-starting the day with sunrise yoga, catching some waves, and then soothing the muscles and the mind with sunset yoga. Now that’s an epic combination!
Curious to find out what else to expect? Here’s a breakdown of what happens on a surf and yoga retreat and why you should absolutely join!
Craving sand, sea, and yoga? Wanna catch some epic waves too?
On a yoga and surf retreat, you don’t have to worry about choosing one or the other. You can have both!

Typical daily schedule
The day will starts with a morning meditation & yoga session, followed by a Tea Break + Fruits & Nuts. Then, you’ll go to the best surf spots of the day depending on the swell conditions, weather, and your skill level.
There, the instructors will join you in the water as you catch your first waves or improve your technique. In the evenings we will have Yin Yoga Session and Sun Set meditation by the Ocean.
The rest of the day, apart from the surfing sessions and yoga classes, is free time that you can use however you like. Chill on the beach under the coconut trees, read, walk around the Clift...
The yoga classes
The yoga classes are suitable for all levels, and are surf-focused. You don’t need to have any prior experience to join them. The emphasis is on building strength, flexibility, and balance for surfing. In addition, they also focus on recovery from the surf sessions.
The styles practiced are gentle Hatha, Restorative, and Yin Yoga.
In the morning, an awakening yoga flow will stretch the body, preparing you for the surf sessions. The evening session is usually slow, soft, and gentle, typically Restorative or Yin Yoga. The class is designed to flush lactic acid and open energy lines. The sequence stretches and relaxes the muscles, joints, and tendons, nourishing the soul and ensuring a good night’s sleep.
The location where the yoga classes are held will be in the beach or in the Roof Top of the accommodation.
The surf lessons
We welcome all levels. The surf lessons will be adapted to your own skills.
Upon your arrival, the instructors will assess your level and you’ll join a small group of surfers of similar abilities. The instructors will be in the water with you at all times, providing tips and feedback to help you improve.
If you’re just starting out, you’ll join a beginner course in which you’ll learn all the basic techniques required to catch your first waves (paddling, popping-up, standing on the board), as well as ocean safety and surfing etiquette.
If you already have some experience, you can join an intermediate take your skills to the next level by learning more advanced techniques.
And if you’re an advanced surfer, you can benefit from surf guiding and go where the best waves of the day are, thus scoring more gnarly waves during your trip.
We are collaborating with Goofy Foot Surf School.

Top reasons to join a surf & yoga retreat
Surfing makes a great addition to your yoga holiday and vice versa. But that’s not the only reason to join a surf and yoga retreat. Here are some more:
No hassle
Retreats take out the hassle of having to plan all the details of your surf and yoga trip. All you need to worry about is getting there and the retreat will take care of all the rest.
You don’t need to fret about traveling long distances with your surfing gear and yoga mat, finding rental shops and accommodation near the waves, studying surf guides, reading forecasts, or figuring out how to get from your lodging to the surf spot.
Most camps have a modern quiver. Surfboard and wetsuit hire is included in the package. Furthermore, surf and yoga retreats typically provide mats and all the necessary props too.
Find your balance
Surfing connects you with the ocean and nature. It’s much more than finding your balance on the board. It’s about finding balance in life.
Yoga is much more than the poses performed in class. It helps you find your inner balance, aligning your body, mind, and soul. It is a way of life. Furthermore, yoga balances out the rush experienced when riding the waves.
Find your flow
When you go with the flow, life moves with you.
When surfing, you must become in tune with the movement of the water and go with the flow of the waves. There can be no distractions, no brain chatter. You should quiet the monkey mind and be completely immersed in the present moment.
When practicing yoga, you must become aware of the fluidity of your body and mind. Just like when surfing, you should be present and in the moment. Yoga helps calm the mind and be patient, preparing you for successful surfing sessions.
Get a massive reset
You’ll move your body, catching waves and striking yoga poses. Don’t worry, though; you won’t exert yourself. You’ll get just enough exercise to ensure a good night’s sleep and come back home feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Meet the teachers:
Anandan Dhandapani
Founder Samudra Yoga Space
Spiritual Mentor
Meditation & Yoga Teacher
(The Retreat Guide)
Everything that Anandan teaches whether it is about yoga practice, spirituality, or energy healing is coming from the depth of his heart and years of dedicated self-work and personal practice.
He praises Yoga as a powerful method of self-realization and applies traditional Sivananda style hatha principles in his classes following the core knowledge about asana and pranayama. Guided Meditations that Anandan is teaching are very intuitive and based on ancient methods: he creates unique meditation practices that offer energy healing and support the student on his path towards spiritual awakening. Tantric Philosophy is a core aspect of his powerful spiritual teachings, but he welcomes wisdom from all different sources.
Anandan passion is to bring people closer to the realization of their divinity and internal abundance - in an all inclusive embodied form that he, so brightly, emanates.
Laura Rodenas
Founder of Samudra Retreats
Yoga Teacher & Nutrition Specialist
Founder of Samudra Retreats, I love experimenting with all types of yoga, not taking life so seriously, being outdoors, meeting new people, being active, travel and anything related to health + wellness. I believe in living a balanced life where possible and not limiting ourselves but always pushing our limits towards discovering our true potential.
Offering retreats as a part of Samudra Space has been a dream come true! I’ve always loved going on retreats myself and now love organizing them. They’re the best solo-traveler holidays and I never feel better after a holiday as after a retreat. I’ve done all kinds of retreats from intense Detox, Yoga/Surf to just Yoga Workshop retreats all over the world.
“My ultimate goal is to live life as a more awakened, vibrant, alive human being.”
