About this trip
Join us for this ocean lover's yoga & surf retreat on the wild Pacific Coast of Panama! Mellow waves. Epic sunsets.
The feeling of riding across the face of a green wave, harnessing the pure energy of the ocean and being totally in sync with the rhythms of nature. Once you’ve had a good wave, you want more!
Santa Catalina is a laid back little surf town on the Pacific Coast of Panama. With consistent surf year round, you will learn to surf with our professional, friendly, and encouraging local surf instructors. We will learn at Playa Estero: an uncrowded, easy-to-learn beach break with a soft, sandy bottom. We can also cater lessons at different breaks if you are intermediate/ advanced.
Surf packages are optional - you can join the retreat without surfing :)
