SOL, SAL Y SOUL
A YOGA AND SURF RETREAT 14TH - 21ST OF MARCH 2026
Clean waves, golden sunrises, breathtaking nature and pure joy await you. With warm water and an incredible variety of waves, this destination is perfect for progressing your surfing, trying new maneuvers, and building your confidence in the water.
During the two daily sessions, you’ll be coached by Lolo, a certified surf instructor, who will guide you with humor and targeted feedback — including video analyses — to help you reach your next level. Aurelia, with years of experience as a yoga teacher and somatic coach, rounds off each day with a yoga session, keeping body and mind in balance.
Look forward to surf trips in a 4x4, exciting boat trips, healthy meals, fresh juices, smoothies, and snacks — all included. You’ll also enjoy professional surf photoshoots, both on land and in the water, so you can take home not just your progress, but lasting memories.
This retreat is more than just sun, salt, and soul — it’s an invitation to grow, laugh, and create friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.
Whether you come alone or with a friend, you’ll be welcomed into a small group of like-minded women who share the same love for the ocean and adventure. You'll leave with new skills, confidence, and a heart full of joy.


For me, surfing is more than just a sport — it's my passion. It's about letting go, recharging your batteries, having fun, and sharing unforgettable moments with friends.
After years of coaching soccer and later surfing, I realized what I love most: helping people grow, push their limits and celebrate their progress — on the field, in the water and in life.
Both soccer and surfing are male-dominated sports. And as a woman, it’s easy to feel intimidated or mansplained out there. That’s when I knew: I want to give this confidence back to women. By helping them grow their skills, pushing each other and finding their joy in what they do.
That’s why I founded Joyride Surf Retreats:
A place where learning to surf is fun, not stressful
Where women feel safe & supported
Where small groups turn into friendships for life
This is not just about waves – it’s about finding your flow, your confidence and your joy.

Open-hearted, deeply passionate about life, and in love with the ocean.
We’re so excited to welcome Aurelia as our yoga teacher for this Retreat.
Aurelia is a trauma-informed yoga teacher and somatic coach, guiding practices that go far beyond stretching.
Her curiosity about the connection between mind and body led her to a holistic path — shaped by soulful teachers, conscious movement, and a deep respect for the whole human experience.
On retreat, her sessions will help you:
reconnect with your body
release tension & reset your nervous system
support your surfing with awareness, presence & ease
A perfect balance to our surf sessions — grounding, nourishing, and deeply supportive.
We can’t wait for you to experience her magic

At JOYRIDE, waves are our priority — that’s why we adapt our schedule to the surf conditions. Usually, we rise with the sun and head to bed early — everyone is generally tired and surfed out anyway after dinner.
Times may vary depending on the swell, wind, and tides, but here’s what a day might look like:
5:30 am – Coffee & pre-surf snack
6:00 am – 4x4 trip to the surf spot
6:30–8:30 am – Coached surf session
9:30 am – Breakfast at the Surf Sanctuary
10:00 am–12:00 pm – Time to relax or theory session (surf etiquette, wave forecasting, ocean knowledge)
12:00 pm – Lunch at the Surf Sanctuary
2:00 pm – Boat trip to the surf spot
2:30–4:30 pm – Free surfing & surf photoshoot session
5:30–6:30 pm – Sunset Yoga with Aurelia
7:00 pm– Dinner
Every activity is, of course, optional — you can always choose rest over rush, hammock time over high tide. This is your retreat, your rhythm!
We can’t control nature — and that’s part of the adventure! There’s always a spot where the waves match our level. If wind or storms slow us down, we explore tidal pools, soak in hot springs, or go snorkeling. Missed surf sessions will, of course, be made up on the following days.
