Surf and Yoga: A Match made in Tropical Heaven by Shruti Shah (@flowithshruti)

As a yoga teacher who surfs on occasion, I have realised that being on the surfboard out in the water gives me the same feeling that comes from being on my yoga mat.

Elemental Yoga Flow: Embodying Earth, Water, Fire, Air

So many of us have the word flow misunderstood. It’s a very yogi word that’s blowing across all of our vocabulary. We say things like I don’t like to plan things out or I am all over the place or just go with the flow.

Yoga and Sustainable Travel

Here at Costa Dulce Surf and Yoga Retreat, we understand the desire to travel. Seeing new places, getting to know a different culture, and trying exotic foods are some of the joys that inspire us to explore the world! Yet, we also realize that traveling and the tourism industry, in general, are not the most environmentally-friendly.
