Yoga classes at Swell

Surfing and Yoga are a match made in heaven and it`s no accident that the two pair-up so well. Pre-surf stretching has been a vital part of surfing since forever: You’ll never see a surfer enter the water without doing some stretching first. Using limbs in a way that is alien to most other daily activities or sports can take its toll, even on bodies whose owners consider themselves to be quite fit ordinarily.

Balance

The importance of preparation

Unless you are a seasoned swimmer, arms are not used to paddling as a rule, so shoulders can react unpleasantly to the demands of catching lots of waves.

Good Balance is an essential part of the surfing process. Yoga brings together many of the skills you will need to learn to surf well and perhaps most importantly, helps to stretch, relax, repair and tone aching limbs.

Our Classes

At Swell Surf Yoga Camp, we are very fortunate to have the lovely Molly O`Meara as our Yogi – Molly`s very friendly and relaxed way of teaching. Yoga really concentrates on the individual...she`s wonderful at pin-pointing your sore spots and gently encouraging your body to “give” and relax. Molly began practising yoga in 1993 while she lived in Aspen Colorado.

Yoga first served as a complement to her active lifestyle, but soon became an integral part of her life. Now she is a dedicated Ashtanga practitioner. Yoga sessions are held at Swell Yoga & Surf camp 3 times per week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons.You must pre-book in order to guarantee your Yoga class. Yoga classes are priced at $25 per person / per class. Join us in the Caribbean for a Surf & Yoga Holiday

  • “Think of Swell as the anti-surf camp. There’s plenty of surfing, of course, but the similarities to other surf camps end there. For starters, the rooms are stylish — more boutique surf hotel than reggae-loving surfer digs. Then there are the legendary breakfasts (omelets, pancakes and crepes, fresh-squeezed orange juice, and fruit bowls). Structured surf lessons take place each morning, with an instructor alongside you and the head surf coach watching from shallow water, ready to offer learn to surf tips between riding waves. If you are serious about learning to surf, then Swell should be on top of your destination list. Highly recommended! ”

    Designed with the discerning surfer in mind, Swell Surf Camp is far from a crash pad. The spare clean lines, plush bedding, modern photographs and funky furniture say ‘boutique surf retreat’ but the pool, ping-pong and foosball tables and social vibe suggest otherwise. A huge wood communal table is the center of the hanging-out action, after all the surfing is done. Highly recommended!
