Surf 'n' Yoga Special 2012: September 16th- September 23th

We again present one of our all-time season highlights: the Maximum Surfcamp Surf 'n' Yoga Special 2010!

Surfing legend Gerry Lopez, 2 times world champion Tom Carrol and 9 times world champion Kelly Slater have proved it: Yoga can make you surf better. Yoga improves your sense of balance, increases flexibility and strengthens body tension. All of this combines to make Yoga a perfect companion to good surfing.

We´re starting off each day with a 1,45 h yoga session under the open sky on our roof terrace with sea view.

Each session begins with an awareness exercise and the pranayama breathing technique, followed by a warm-up for your body. Then we’ll go into a variety of different sun salutations and powerful asanas that are all weaved together with much love into one dynamic flow.

The session ends with a special stretching routine for the neck and back that you can also use on the beach as a warm-up before you go surfing.

Altogether the yoga sessions give you a lot of strength and joy for a fresh and fit start into the day! :)

Each day we take you to the best surfing beaches in the Peniche area. Instruction is done professionally. Step by step our instructors introduce you to surfing, or help to improve your skills. With 2 sessions a day, theoretical units and video coaching we give you a professional start into this great sport or take you to the next level.

The camp is located only 300m from the beach, has spacious apartments, a terrace with seaview and a patio for BBQs and chilling. In our bistro-lounge we offer breakfast buffet, lunchpacks for the beach, snacks, fruits, and hot and cold drinks as well as internet access.

Please book via our homepage.

Surf your breath!

Polarities that attract each other - ease and stability, freedom and control, action and serenity, Yoga and surfing, and ideal combination of dynamic and fluid movements with relaxation and conscious breathing. It´s about connection, focus and balance.

Three years ago, during her studies in sport science, Sonja discovered her passion for Yoga at Lord Vishnu´s Couch Yoga Studio in Cologne. Fascinated by the body control and simultaneous freedom that appears with it, Sonja undertook (and in the last year completed) a yoga apprenticeship. Sonja gives dynamic, playful Vinyasa classes, which are characterized by the harmony of motion and rest, so that the physical concentration, with its foundation in easiness and strength, provides soothing relaxation.
