CABEÇA DE CABRA - SURF & YOGA
At our Cabeça da Cabra Retreats, we try to promote a different approach to surf and we would love to share it with you.
Learning how to surf might not make you a surfer, but it will stay with you forever.
Your smile on that first “take off”, the feeling of floating above the water, that moment that you and the ocean bond as one single being…these are feelings that will remain within you.
If learning how to surf ends up directing you toward a wonderful and healthy way to connect with the ocean, if it ends up taking you to beautiful unknown beaches, if it will bring long-lasting friends to your life, we can’t know for sure – but you will be able to say to yourself: “I did it” .
There is no need to endure a frustrating struggle, we prefer to work with the ocean rather than against it. Trust yourself to someone that will make it easy and rewarding, someone prepared to adapt the learning method to your capacities and expectations.
We will be working with André Teixeira and his Costazul surf school, that have more than fifteen years of experience teaching and a lifetime of experience at the sea.
If you already surf, this surf retreat is the perfect opportunity to take it to the next level.
Accompanied by an experienced surfer, it will make it easier for you to have that breakthrough moment of progression that take our awareness, ability, and perspective to a new level.
Every night we will gather around a homemade meal, as we surrender to the wonderful feeling of relaxation after a day surfing.
