Surf and Yoga Retreat, Croyde, Devon

Hey,
I am so excited to be running this Yoga and Surf Retreat, the 2014/15/16 & 17 retreats were amazing fun. We stay 3 x nights in a beautiful converted barn walking distance to the sea, do 6 x Yoga, Meditation and Pranayama classes over the weekend.

Endless surfing, optional lessons and the possibility of SUPing, coastal walks, massage, chilling and lots more.
We will stay in a lovely big converted barn with a big garden in Georgeham which is walking distance to the beach. We then have all day to have fun surfing and relaxing at the beautiful Croyde/Putsbourgh surfing beach or doing anything you want to do. The weekend is £330. www.neospirityoga.com- contact kirsty@neospirityoga.com.

*£25 early bird discount if you book before end of Nov 2017 We have a great chef cooking us healthy, vegetarian, wheat free brekkie, lunch and dinners. Yoga combined with surfing in the ocean will energise, revitalise and relax you (and will be lots of fun!) I believe the ocean is one of natures great healers, it has amazing energy. It is proven that the negative ions near the ocean make you happier. Connecting with nature and the ocean, combined with Yoga, Meditation and Pranayama will be a refreshing, healing, fun experience.

I love Yoga and Surfing, so I want you to give you the opportunity to experience these wonderful things too! My aim of this retreat is for you to be healed, restored, relaxed and rejuvenated. I will try to help you to come back to yourself, remember who you are, love yourself and feel grounded and present. By clearing blockages, rebalancing your mind, body and spirit I believe you will feel happier, more focused in your life and ready to face any challenge.

I will do my best help you feel peace in your mind and love and happiness in your heart. Yoga and surfing work wonderfully together. Many top pro surfers swear by yoga to compliment their surfing. Yoga helps with being present, building strength, increasing flexibility, enhancing balance, concentration, focus, calm and pranayama increases lung capacity. Yoga helps you surf with more energy and endurance. Yoga helps you to focus in the water and have a personal relationship with the ocean.

Whether you are a Yogi looking to try surfing, a surfer wanting to incorporate yoga, to have a lovely holiday or just try something different, this will be great for you.

The Hatha Yoga class is for beginners and intermediate Yogis, I can vary the postures to suit all abilities. The style is fun and creative, yet focused and still challenging. The Hatha flows and also has many influences from various disciplines and teachers. Yoga stretches, strengthens, tones, helps to align, and improves the health of the entire body. My varied mix of guided meditations will help you in different areas of your life and help you to calm the mind and bring you into the present.

We will do pranayama, morning and evening which will be amazingly beneficial to your mind and body. Pranayama (breath control) stimulates and brings oxygen to every tissue in the body, is said to remove all diseases, destroys negative thought patterns among many other benefits. Georgeham is a lovely little old fashioned Devon village. Croyde is a little surf town, with cafes, a few shops and a couple of pubs and restaurants.
