Step into a week of movement, mindfulness, and ocean energy along the stunning coast of El Salvador. This carefully curated experience is designed to reconnect you with your body, your breath, and your sense of flow, both on and off the mat!
Each day invites guests to follow their own rhythm—whether greeting the sunrise with optional dawn patrol surf sessions, flowing through mindful yoga practices, or simply resting and absorbing the beauty of the ocean. What you do with your time here is completely up to you! You can do all the things, or simply pick and choose what you participate in.
Beyond the mat and waves, the retreat includes unforgettable adventures such as a waterfall hike and swim, and a guided trek to the Mayan Ruins. Evenings bring community together with nourishing dinners, a breathwork journey, and a closing ceremony to celebrate the week’s transformation.
With fresh, nourishing meals, tropical surroundings, and the freedom to choose how each day unfolds, this retreat offers the perfect balance of movement, exploration, and restoration—an experience designed to help you reconnect with nature, your body, and yourself.
What to expect:
Each morning begins with guided meditation followed by an energizing vinyasa practice designed to strengthen, awaken, and prepare you for the day ahead. Evenings invite you to slow down and restore through yin and restorative yoga, creating the perfect balance of effort and ease.
Throughout the week, you’ll receive daily journal prompts and guided reflections that encourage self-awareness and personal growth — gentle opportunities to explore what’s working, what’s holding you back, and where you’re ready to expand.
Days are free for adventure or rest:
- Explore the vibrant surf town of El Tunco with its colorful cafés, boutiques, and local markets.
- Enjoy surf lessons and experience the joy of connecting with the waves.
- Participate in Foundation Training sessions or surf discussions to help enhance your form.
- Join us for a guided waterfall hike through El Salvador’s lush countryside.
- Grow your knowledge and culture of the area on a guided tour of the local Mayan Ruins.
- Indulge in massages or simply relax poolside and soak up the sun.
This retreat is for everyone, whether you surf, stretch, sweat, or simply seek stillness. It’s about presence, connection, and rediscovering your flow through movement, nature, and community.
Come experience the warmth of El Salvadoran culture and breathtaking sunsets!
