LONGBOARDING
This retreat has been designed to improve your longboarding level. Regardless of whether you are just beginning longboarding (but have been surfing for a while), practicing your first cross steps or trying to improve your hang time, we will guide you through in-depth surf sessions and analysis, led by Vaimiti and local surf guides.
You do not need to know how to ride a longboard to join the retreat, however, some basic skills are necessary; including catching waves on your own (without being pushed), taking off and feeling confident enough in the water. You will be given a comprehensive rundown of the spot before we go in. You will surf mellow waves in deep water under the careful guidance of Vaimiti and our experienced instructors.
Mornings begin with guided surf explorations adapted to the conditions of the day, focusing on flow, wave reading and style. The approach centres on awareness, fluidity and understanding the ocean through repetition, observation and time spent in the water.
Sri Lanka is home to some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world and an abundance of incredible surf spots. We want to give you the opportunity to discover some of the best longboard waves that Sri Lanka has to offer, just 10-20 minutes away by tuk-tuk from the venue.
We recommend bringing your own board. This will help you progress on the board you are normally surfing on and are used to. However, if you cannot travel with it, we will provide one for you. Please let us know via the Registration Form if you will need us to organize one for you.
Boards, transfers, local guides, Vaimiti’s guidance, filming, photography & feedback are included in the package. We will be filming twice and offer two video analysis sessions at the venue. A photographer will be shooting too, creating the most beautiful memories for you to take home.

JIVAMUKTI YOGA
Jivamukti Yoga is a path to enlightenment through compassion for all beings. Created by Sharon Gannon and David Life, the Jivamukti School incorporates traditional Yoga practices into a modern lifestyle without losing sight of the ancient wisdom and the universal goal of Liberation. Each class includes set Asana sequences, Pranayama exercises, the study of Mantras and Sutras, Kriyas, Meditation and Relaxation.
This core philosophy is expressed through five tenets, which form the foundation of Jivamukti Yoga: Ahimsa (nonviolence), Bhakti (devotion), Dhyana (meditation), Nāda (music) and Shastra (ancient yogic teachings).
At Jivamukti, we use art, music, dance, and poetry to create an environment that inspires you to investigate the mysteries of Life.
On this retreat we will mainly teach Restore & Renew Jivamukti Yoga practices in the evening, alongside some even slower Yin classes to give the body some deep rest and allow the mind to unfold in a trustful space where deep healing takes place.
