Waves of Wellness is about freedom of movement. Unlocking your mobility and flexibility to surf your best and above all enjoy your surfing and anything you do with your body. Using a combination of body movement techniques including Yoga, PSP method, Pilates, and Yin Yoga you will work on a daily routine you can easily incorporate into your life.
The intention
To leave the retreat with self-balancing techniques, exercise routines to stretch/strengthen, warm-ups/cool-downs, and confidence in the water through group surf sessions and surf coaching. If you are a beginner, you will have the possibility to experience and learn the basics of surfing too!
The Program
The program is for all athletes, surfers, and yogis of any level, who want to improve their physical condition and performance in and out of the water. It is ideal for travelers, digital nomads, and surfers seeking inspiration from a community, a strong bio-hacking wellness program, and tools for a lasting routine in their floaty lifestyles and schedules.
Designed to maximize your overall fitness level and stamina, the schedule intentionally considers circadian rhythms, healthy habits, and surf strain demands to keep you feeling empowered. The flow includes 2 yoga/movement/stretching sessions a day and 3 surf coaching sessions/beginners’ surf classes over the week. Toia’s approach to movement combines different disciplines to reduce muscle tension, increase range of motion, and achieve the right balance of strength and flexibility for greater freedom of movement and fluidity in the surf.
The retreat will be guided in English and we are happy to throw in some Spanish and Arabic.
