East Lothian Yoga and Surf Day Retreat
£135pp
Welcome to your Yoga and Surf Day Retreat
Begin your day at Ocean Vertical HQ — a beautifully restored 200-year-old Victorian stables nestled in the heart of John Muir Country Park, East Lothian.
Your morning session is an extended, yoga-inspired practice designed to help you move well, feel grounded, and prepare both body and mind for time in the water. Led by our specialist instructor, the session blends mobility, functional strength, breathwork and deep relaxation — releasing tension, building awareness and restoring energy.
The aim is simple: to help you feel more connected, more capable, and ready to get the most from your surf experience.
Accessible and welcoming, this practice is suitable for all levels, whether you’re new to yoga or returning to your mat. Expect to leave feeling calm, energised and ready for the water.
Following the yoga session, you will enjoy a lunch of warm soup and freshly made
sandwiches together in front of the woodburning stove and have time to relax before the
afternoon’s activity.
After lunch it will be time to jump into Ocean Verticals thick 5mm wetsuits (wetsuit gloves, boots and hoods are available too!) and head down to Belhaven Bay (2-minute drive) with your surf instructor.
The surf session will be designed for beginner and intermediate surfers, so if you have never surfed before, your instructor will coach you through the basics of catching your first waves and looking at standing up on the board. If you are more of an intermediate surfer, our instructors will help you to progress your surfing to the next level.
Here’s an outline of the Yoga and Surf Day Retreat:
