Surf, Stretch and Unwind with a Surf Yoga Retreat
Join our Surf, Yoga & Massage break at Gwithian Academy of Surfing, Gwithian, West Cornwall. Dates available from April to October.
Are you looking for a holiday that combines fun and fitness with relaxation? Surfing and yoga use many of the same muscle groups so together they make a perfect combination to help build all round fitness and balance in both body and mind.
And after a day of exercise what better way than a wonderful massage to relax and rejuvenate tired muscles and de-stress an overworked or anxious mind?
Gwithian Academy of Surfing has teamed up with Lucy Aldridge Yoga to offer Surf-Yoga retreats. Lucy is a highly experienced Iyengar yoga teacher and sports & remedial massage therapist. She also surfs, so she will ensure your yoga sessions are restorative after surfing and tailored to your own specific needs.
Our popular Surf -Yoga retreat includes daily surf tuition, Iyengar yoga and massage sessions. We can even arrange Spa sessions if required. Come and join us in Gwithian for a week-long fun and relaxing retreat.
Surf & Stay with us in St Ives Bay
St Ives Bay on the north Cornwall coast is one of the most beautiful places in Cornwall. Nestled between the town of St Ives and Godrevy headland is a five-mile long sandy beach with easy parking, beach access and some great healthy cafés with fantastic views across the bay. The beach itself is a wide expanse of golden sand with a variety of surf breaks, perfect for learning to surf, practising yoga or just kicking back and soaking up some sun.
You will stay at Gwithian Holidays (www.gwithianholidays.com) which is only a 10-minute stroll to the beach or 2-minute cycle. Accommodation is in gorgeous one or two bedroomed apartments. We can also offer a camping option at Prosper House Camping (www.prosperhousecamping.co.uk) for those surfers who really love being out in the great outdoors.
The apartments at Gwithian Holidays all have warm, cosy lounges with fully fitted kitchens and are modern and clean. Guests can come alone or with friends to enjoy a relaxing fun retreat with like-minded people.
The campsite is a small friendly no-frills site with modern shower, toilets and amenity tent with access to a fridge/freezer and even sockets to charge your phone or iPad.
We will be running these retreats on specific weeks in 2024.
