East Lothian Yoga and Surf Day Retreat
Welcome to your Yoga and Surf Day Retreat
Spend the morning at our wonderful rural HQ, a 200-year-old Victorian Stables building, in the heart of the John Muir Country Park.
The mornings Yoga session will be run by Sally Jean Rankin founder of Kinship.Studio. Sally will take you through a two hour journey of Yin and Vinyasa Flow Yoga finishing with a Yoga Nidra meditation during relaxation at the end of the practice.
The session is designed to prepare your mind and body for your surf session and is open to all levels however some experience would be beneficial.
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 activities.
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 afternoons 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.
