Workshops & Retreats


SUMMER/AUTUMN 2010

This autumn I will be hosting 2 amazing retreats that combine Yoga and Meditation with Surfing, Climbing, and a plethora of outdoor activities  in beautiful beachside locations!  From a structured Surfcamp on the West Coast of France to an open and adventurous community-style retreat in Portugal where you can choose to surf, climb, hike, fish, swim or simply lounge between yoga sessions; all weeks will help you to bring the focus, calm and presence you have on the mat into everything you do.  There are more details below; please don`t hesitate to email me with any questions you may have!

Retreat #1 Surf/Yoga Retreat in France - great for beginner/intermediate surfers
This retreat is in association with boardingmania, a surf school run by the passionate Patrick Hall, and includes tonnes of time in the water with him helping you learn to surf with style!

Retreat #2 Surf/Climb/Yoga in Portugal
 
This one will be somewhat more open in terms of daily activities, but more focused on the retreat aspect. Breakfast and dinner will be provided (lots of delicious fresh fruit and fish/veggie bbq's etc). We'll have a big house by the beach with a private swimming pool, garden etc; Morning and Evening Yoga and Meditation sessions; Thai massage swaps and optional Pilates classes; and a driver to take you wherever you want to go surfing or climbing (the craig's aren't amazing but the deep-water soloing is phenomenal). The house is situated in Western Algarve, between Lagos and Luz, and from the nearest beach (5min away) there is great fishing, sailing, windsurfing as well as cliff walks and hikes with spectacular views. We will have all activities/equipment rentals etc sussed so that it will be easy to go from your tasty post-yoga breakfast to your chosen activity. In case of bad weather I can run extra pilates classes and AcroYoga workshops. 
included in the cost:

7 days' accommodation
6 x fresh buffet breakfast
5 x delicious and healthy dinners of salads, veggie dishes and fresh fish
6 x 1.5hr Morning energizing yoga session
6 x 1.5hr Evening Flow Yoga session
Thai massage courses (give and receive)
7 x Morning meditation session
6 x Evening meditation session

For the 2 nights where dinner will not be served at the villa we'll go out and sample some of the local cuisine, which is very reasonably priced but not included in the package.

The cost is 595 euros per person for 7 days.
