The learn to surf and yoga retreat hosted by Coffee Shack Backpackers is possibly the most wholesome way to learn to surf and practice yoga.

Your experienced surf instructor will be with you every step of the way, taking you only into safe waters and encouraging you to just take it one simple step at a time.

You can expect yoga classes that help clear your mind, calm your body and bring ease into your movements so that you can get on that board and place your feet with your chin up, hips loose and core strong to ride that wave with ease.

Expect large breakfasts and dinners, beautiful views, fresh air, sandy beaches and the local guard dog, Rusty, sitting in the water until he shivers.

The package includes: 

• Daily yoga (I work the schedule to best suit your needs)
• Daily surf lessons (including board and suit)
• Accommodation (make your pick below)
• Meals (Breakfast and dinner)

The Venue

Coffee Shack is a laid back venue, a very popular stop for tourists, located between a clean river, life-filled ocean and grassy mountain. They have a bar, restaurant, wifi area, a gorgeous green camping space and a multitude of unique experience offerings.

The private rooms overlook incredible views of the ocean and surrounding mountains. Witnessing dolphins swim past is a common occurrence.

Your Yoga Host, Sarah Tischhauser

Qualified as a 200hr Chakra Yoga instructor through hOHM Yoga School in 2019, Sarah went straight into teaching full classes of varied levels of experience.
"Chakra yoga has helped me understand how all things are connected and it has given me tools to help create balance in life, body and mind. I hope to share these tools with those who need it."

"To see someone embracing their power keeps me inspired"

All levels of experience are welcome. If you have never done surfing or yoga before, this is perfect for you.

The grassy campsite overlooks the river and beach front while under a large overhanging evergreen tree.
