"Awesome! "
Had the best time with Swell Yoga. The whole experience was so relaxing as Elly and Nikita really made you feel looked after. Being so close to the sea was absolutely fantastic. Its been an absolute game changer for me and I've even decided to relocate to Devon sooner than I'd planned because of it!
Thanks for everything guys! ❤️

"Fabulous escape "
Loved my time on the coast, out in nature, kindred spirits, healing sea, breathtaking coastal views, blustery beach, calming yoga practice, nourishing food, singing around the campfire, majestically stargazing, friendships, grounding, reset and earthed back to nature. I loved it 💚

"What a magical, relaxing and enjoyable experience 😊"
My sister and I went to the yoga and surf retreat with Swell Yoga. Nikita and Elly were very welcoming when we arrived. They had taken lots of precautions at the accommodation for the Covid situation. The accommodation was comfortable and cosy and located a short walk from the beach. It was a relaxed atmosphere and everything we needed was catered for. Elly and Nikita were friendly and helpful. The surfing was brilliant, the yoga was invigorating and the food was delicious! Would highly recommend the experience and will definitely try to go back again. Thank you Elly and Nikita for a wonderful experience and lovely couple of days.

"Devon yoga and surf retreat"
Three really wonderful hours of yoga, perfectly pitched to the group. For me, an ideal balance of challenge and restorative time on the mat and I really enjoyed Elly’s personality, skill and approach as an instructor.
We had access to beautiful beaches for surfing and walking - both Saunton sands and Croyd are an expanse of golden sand with excellent surf and glorious weather during our mid September weekend retreat.

"We had a fantastic time"
We were made to feel so welcome. The yoga was perfect and views across the bay made the classes very special. The food was incredible. Surfing was fantastic too / I have found a new hobby

"Effortlessly lovely"
The weekend flowed in such a lovely way from beginning to end. Wonderful hosting from Elly, perfectly attuned yoga sessions from both Elly and Patricia. I learned a lot about my own practice. We surfed (I use the word loosely for myself) both days and did a fab coast walk on Saturday. Amazing food, star gazing, conversation and I loved my room. I even got loads of work done. Thank you so much!
