It´s the perfect place for surf lovers, to connect with your inner self or enjoy the culture, nature, and gastronomy that this amazing country has ready for you. Either if you travel solo, with friends or family.

Yoga

The yoga classes at the surf camp in Sri Lanka are designed to be a sanctuary for the body, heart, and mind. Your breathing will be filled with a mixture of fresh sea breeze and savage local flora. Join every morning to energize your vibe and at the end of the day to stretch and find serenity. Whatever you choose, it is a perfect time to feel younger and in touch with yourself.

We have meticulously chosen the styles practiced at our surf camp:

Vinyasa Yoga: it is a style characterized for being more dynamic and invigorating. It is based on sequences of postures, which specifically attend to anatomical, physiological and mental benefits. With multiple adaptations according to the starting point of each person. The variable nature of Vinyasa Yoga helps to develop a more balanced body as well as prevent repetitive motion injuries.

Hatha Yoga: the word “Hatha” means “force”, alluding to a physical techniques system. This practice is characterized by its asanas (postures) and pranayamas (breathing exercises) on a softer and pleasant way, to end up the day. The perfect complement for surf.

Yin Yoga: also known as restorative yoga, is a nice way to relax and get a profound rest. Yin yoga is a style of yoga with slower rhythm and asanas (postures) that are held longer (from around 1 to 5 minutes, depending on the level). Yin yoga aims to increase circulation in joints and improve flexibility. It is also a more meditative approach to yoga.
