Yoga & Surf weekends

Our surf yoga sessions were really popular in 2011 and the feedback has been very positive so far and everyone has enjoyed the weekends. We are delighted to team up with Aisling Harris again for 2012 – and remember the weekends are open to men and women. Suitable for beginner, improver and intermediate surfers.

Our yoga and surfing weekends give you the chance to train with a Yoga Sports Coach Specialist and our highly qualified surf instructors. The weekend includes 2 surf lessons (beginner and improver lessons available) and 2 surf coaching sessions. Both surf and yoga sessions are limited to 8 participants max, so you are guaranteed an optimal coaching session. We are running the courses for both beginner surfers and improver surfers. No previous experience of Yoga or Surfing is required. Suitable for beginner, improver and intermediate surfers.

A weekend with 2 surf sessions and 2 sport yoga sessions costs €80 with 2 beginner lessons, or €100 with 2 improver lessons .

We have accommodation available in Bundoran Surf Lodge from €20pps per night B&B. The weekend kicks off at 10am on Saturday with a meet and greet, followed by yoga workshop at 10.30am and surfing in the afternoon. Should finish up about 4pm.
