Location

Think aqua blue water, tropical warmth, perfect glassy waves, friendly atmosphere...think Pure Bliss with Samudra. A chain of pristine coral atolls in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives is a remote, tropical destination offering exciting surf and a place for rejuvenation. Your home for the retreat is a delightful resort island right in the heart of the best surf area with its own private surf break, Pasta Point, a minute's walk from your room.

Once you arrive to the island (30 mins from Male international airport by speedboat), there really is no reason to leave. Practice yoga before a surf, relax, take a massage, surf some more or snorkel in the protected lagoon.

Samudra Yoga & Surf Retreats offered in the Maldives vary in length from:

• 1 week programs
• 2 week programs

Retreat Run Down

This location is geared towards people who have at least a basic level of surf experience. It is perfect for Intermediate and Advanced surfers willing to take their surfing to the next level. With mechanical, perfect, warm waves and a limited number of surfers on the island, it is no wonder this place books up year after year!

Although it's easy to get carried away with just the surfing side of things, we believe a retreat that synthesises the practice of yoga with surfing and a healthy diet will offer you an experience that promotes the unification of the mind, body and soul.

Your Yoga Instructor for the duration will focus on the individual, providing you with the opportunity to evolve a dedicated self practice so that you can work with individual body challenges, maintain agility and continue to surf and play for many years to come.

With fresh vegetarian and/or seafood meals included each day we will ensure you receive the nourishment you need to keep up the physical program.  And if you are feeling a bit sore, there is no shortage of massages to choose from and indulge in.  Ummm...can you think of a better holiday?

Detailed Daily Program

Every day you will arise to the smell of fresh air and the sound of the ocean. Your teachers will guide you through your morning yoga practice in order to explore your unique self and surpass your self imposed limits.

After your morning practice, the group will then share a morning meal together, check the conditions before scurrying off for a much anticipated surf. With local guides and instructors you will learn all about the breaks in the area and how best to tackle them. Depending on your level of experience we will give you full guidance in the areas of where to sit in the lineup, what to look out for, how waves break and more, to have you fully equipped for the conditions of the day. Free time in the afternoon will allow for more surfing, resting, swimming, sunbaking or exploring the coast.

Our afternoon yoga class will focus on the more specific details of the practice. Here we will address specific questions, covering meditation, yoga nidra, Pranayama- the art of breath control and the effects this has on your mind and body. This class is intended as a rejuvenative reunion with the self. Then after taking time to absorb the lessons of the day, the group will meet for a delicious meal of organic high-energy foods that nourish the body and soul. Night is a time for rest and reflection-a chance to embrace what you have given yourself during the day. Often in the evening we will host guest speakers or relax in front of a Surf or Yoga-related movie.

Meals

With all the fresh tropical produce in the area, we bring you a choice of vegetarian and/or seafood meals each day. Served as a buffet, and based around ayruvedic, macrobiotic and raw food, vegetarian we bring all these principles together by focusing on the common thread – which is that good, local produce prepared in a spirit of love is the best food around! We believe this will enhance your physical and mental abilities on the retreat and inspire a healthy and energetic lifestyle.  (Please see Vitality Food section for more info)
