Yoga & Surf Retreat

**We are fully booked - waitlist open**

Indulge in an active seaside getaway and unwind surrounded by wild nature.

We aim to keep it simple and humble – consciously minimal. Join us in a small group for energizing moments on the yoga mat, beginner-friendly surf lessons on the Atlantic, and authentic Spanish dishes made with organic products.

Here's the gist:

Price
1000 Euro for 6 days / 7 nights
(Sunday - Friday, the 14th and the 21th September are traveling days).
Included in the price are your bed in a shared room, all freshly prepared vegan meals sourced from local markets, the opportunity for 2x daily yoga sessions and 1x surf lesson, as well as necessary sports equipment including yoga mat, blocks, straps, surfboard, and wetsuit.

Flight recommendation

The flight must be booked independently and is not included in the price. The same applies for the transportation from the airport to the accommodation. However we help with the coordination, so that you can possibly arrive together with another participant.

For Saturday arrivals with the plane, we recommend connections from Zurich to A Coruña (LCG) via Madrid.

For those who prefer to arrive on Friday without layovers and want to enjoy a short stay in Santiago de Compostela, there are affordable options with direct flights from Zurich (operated by Vueling) or Basel (operated by Easyjet) to Santiago de Compostela (SCQ).

from September 14th – 21st 2024,
in Galicia, Northern Spain

Escape the daily grind, immerse yourself in nature, and reconnect with your body. Join us for 6 days and 7 nights along the northern Spanish coast for a relaxing getaway. Each day, you'll have the opportunity to participate in two yoga classes, swim between the waves, improve your surfing skills, lounge in the sand, read, stroll through the forest, or simply contemplate and be. Whether you seek an active adventure or peaceful relaxation, we'll share a cozy and modest time together.

Accommodation

The Casa San Xurxo is located near the port city of Ferrol, just a short walk from the beach. This rustic, freshly renovated house accommodates up to 9 guests. We'll be staying in three double rooms and one triple room (all furnished with single beds) with same-gender rooming arrangements. Additionally, the accommodation offers a kitchen, two communal areas, a spacious outdoor area, and a small yoga shala.

Food

We'll dine together. Three vegan meals a day are included. Remi Adrien, the owner of Casa San Xurxo, will treat us to simple, Spanish dishes prepared with seasonal produce sourced from nearby farms. During leisure time, you're welcome to use the kitchen for your own culinary projects.

The Team

The beginner-friendly, approximately 90-minute yoga sessions are led by Jana Rutarux (a 658-hour certified yoga teacher). In a mindful and explorative setting, we'll enhance your body awareness. These classes offer options for progressions, allowing you to deepen your personal practice and lay down new foundational elements, regardless of your prior knowledge.

Our local host, surfer, and yogi, Remi Adrien, knows the area well and can provide you with tips on treks, viewpoints, and historical landmarks. He also takes care of logistics on-site.

The surf lessons, lasting approximately 1-1.5 hours each day, are conducted by a local Galician surf school in English/Spanish. Both beginners and advanced surfers are welcome and will receive appropriate guidance.

While you're here, you can also book a Shiatsu treatment with Lukas Hirschhofer. He offers these treatments in Zurich as well.
