Whether you're a beginner or an experienced yogi, this summer retreat offers the perfect balance of movement, relaxation, and connection.
Soul (& not) Surf Yoga Retreat

It’s designed for those who enjoy our vibe and want to dive deeper into the practice we are offering at Soul & Surf.

Yoga
You don’t have to bend like a pretzel to practise yoga & meditation with us in Portugal's beautiful Algarve. We welcome all levels, and for the most part, there will always be people who are making their first moves or honing early skills during their stay. And if you are a seasoned yogi... well, we design our classes to invite you to go deeper into your practice too.
Who would benefit from this week?
Both totally new and experienced yogis. Students will be able to work to their own capabilities and take what they want from the classes.
What will you take home?
If you're a beginner, a basic understanding of the fundamentals of a hatha-based yoga practice. Upon finishing your stay you will have established a set of postures that you can put together into your own sequence that suits your lifestyle at home. You will also have the tools to start a meditation and pranayama practice using breathing techniques.
If you're a seasoned yogi, expect to have picked up a new perspective to your practice - and perhaps even some new 'challenge' asana to refine too. Whoever you are though you can definitely expect to take home a relaxed, rejuvenated and revitalised body and mind.
Included in the retreat are seven yoga classes at 3pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday while Wednesday yoga is at 6pm and Saturday is at 5pm – these are a mix of Vinyasa, Slow Flow, Pranayama, Meditation & Yin.
Plus, if you really want to go deep into a practice you can pay extra and attend our extra studio classes too, as well as private one-to-one sessions – perfect if you’re a total newbie and want to nail the basics, or for yogis who need a bit of extra help to master a specific pose. The main challenge is trying to tear your gaze away from the ocean view.

Post Travel Flow
Long journeys can leave the body feeling stiff and the mind unsettled. Through mindful movement and deep breathing, we’ll allow your body and soul to arrive at this place. Perfect after a long flight, road trip, or train ride!
Inversion Workshop
Learn the foundations of Shirshasana (Headstand) in a safe, supportive way. We’ll explore prep poses, wall work, alignment, and balance techniques to help you build strength and confidence upside down. Sometimes it's the right side up. No experience needed.
Yin
All over yin, rest, relax, recover. A whole body reset to the system type of class, longer time in certain postures, focusing on fascia work and creating space.
All over Vinyasa
Probably our most intense lesson is a balanced flow incorporating strength, flexibility, and mobility. Expect dynamic movement, deep stretches, and mindful transitions to support overall movement and ease in the body.
Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep) is a guided meditation practiced lying down, designed to bring deep rest and nervous system relaxation. Through breath awareness and body scanning, you'll drift into a calm, healing state between wakefulness and sleep.
Alignment & Adjustment workshop
This hands-on workshop explores the principles of functional alignment, offering tools to move with more stability and awareness. Expect a mix of theory and practice as we break down key asanas, explore modifications and adjustments to improve our understanding of the body, injury prevention and sustainable movement.
Arm Balancing Workshop
Explore different variations of Bakasana (Crow Pose) using props, prep drills, and smart alignment to build strength and confidence. We'll move from supported shapes to flying solo, with options for all levels. Expect technique, playfulness, and plenty of time to practice. No experience needed.
Surf Mobility Flow
A slow-paced flow designed for surfers to be honest, but i still think everyone can benefit from the focus on mobility, flexibility, and strength. This practice targets key areas like the hips, shoulders, and core to improve balance, range of motion and overall movement.
Yang to Yin
Begin with energizing, balancing postures to build strength, then move into deep hip and lower back releases. The practice will really slow down towards the end, guiding you into a calm & resetting forward fold sequence for a complete sense of relaxation and release.
Guided Meditation
In this session I will be guiding you through Trataka Sadhana, this is a traditional yogic practice of focused gazing, often on a candle flame, to still the mind, purify the eyes, and awaken deeper concentration, followed by time for inward reflection.
It’s a powerful tool for clarity, nervous system reset, and meditative state.
