So that you can fully enjoy this stay, we invite you to tell us about your health problems, discomfort and pain so that we can adapt the yoga classes. A yoga and surfing retreat requires good physical condition and a habit of sport.

During the winter from December to February the waves can be stronger. Even if the classes are adapted to the level of each person and beginners are redirected to small beginner beaches in case of big swell, during this period it is preferable to have a first experience in surfing and feel in your element in the ocean. Outside of these periods the ocean is calmer and suitable for those who are more apprehensive in the ocean. The summer is calm, the ocean is warm and a beautiful period to learn on small waves.
