Program
Connect yourself to the healing flow of the ocean over a long weekend spent camping on Devon's stunning coast. Connect with your mind, body, and spirit through energizing and dynamic yoga flow classes and relaxed evening yoga sessions, taught beneath the open blue skies overlooking the ocean on the sand.
Unwind in the rhythm of the waves, testing your balance during surfing or SUP lessons, or simply relaxing in the soothing sea. Take meditational walks along sandy shores and unwind around a crackling fire beneath a night sky full of stars.
Be present, relax, and lean into happiness as you embrace the quiet power of nature.
Come back to yourself and connect with the ocean's energy Neo Spirit Yoga retreats are designed to heal, rejuvenate, and relax you.
It is time to come back to yourself, remember who you are, love yourself, and feel grounded and present.
During the retreat, you will stay three nights at Freshwell, camping next to the sea under the stars. You will participate in six yoga and meditation classes, held outdoors or in the village hall. Enjoy surfing, evening campfires, optional crystal healing, massage, optional surf lessons, SUPing, coastal walks, sea swimming, relaxing, beach time, shared meals, and more.
The campsite has clean hot showers, toilets, drinking water, and washing-up points. You can camp in your own tent or book a yurt. Other accommodation options in the small village of Croyde are available if you prefer not to camp.
Yoga combined with surfing in the ocean will energize, revitalize, and relax you, and it will be lots of fun. The ocean is one of nature's great healers with amazing energy. Negative ions near the ocean have been shown to increase happiness. Connecting with nature and the ocean, combined with yoga and meditation, will provide a refreshing, healing, and fun experience.
Neo Spirit Yoga offers the opportunity for you to experience these wonderful practices.
Yoga and surfing work wonderfully together. Many top professional surfers swear by yoga to complement their surfing. Yoga helps with being present, building strength, increasing flexibility, enhancing balance, improving concentration and focus, calming the mind, and pranayama exercises increase lung capacity. Yoga helps you surf with more energy and endurance.
Yoga also helps you focus on the water and develop a personal connection with the ocean. Whether you are a yogi wanting to try surfing, a surfer wanting to incorporate yoga, seeking a lovely holiday, or just trying something different, this retreat will be great for you.
Neo Spirit Yoga can organise surf lessons, or you can bring or hire your own board and wetsuit and surf together at one of the nearby beautiful beaches. If you do not fancy surfing, you can relax on the beach, explore, enjoy a massage, or take a coastal walk.
