Frequently Asked Questions
-
Each retreat is unique and shaped by the culture, pace and environment of the destination you choose.
While every edition is slightly different, they all include the pick-up from the airport, your accommodation for the week at a beautiful locally owned stay, all the surf coaching sessions with extremely experienced local longboarders, daily yoga, breathwork and guided meditations, creative workshops with local artists, adventure days to explore the area, most of your meals, footage of all the moments of your trip, and access to amazing waves.

Beyond Retreats is for all ages, all genders, and all levels of yoga and surfing.
We are not a women’s only retreat — this is for everyone, across all backgrounds and stages of life. We love the fact that everyone brings something different to these experiences, and that is exactly what makes it all so special.
-
Our groups are kept intentionally small, usually between 8 and 10 people. We value intimate, personal settings that allow for meaningful connection, better coaching in and out of the water, and a respectful way of engaging with each surf destination without overwhelming local lineups or surf town communities.
For this reason, we sometimes split the group across a couple of different peaks (depending on everyone’s surf level) or into slightly staggered schedules, so there are never too many people in the water at the same time.
-

Mother Nature always has the final say, and that's part of the beauty of surfing.
If conditions aren't ideal, we'll adapt the schedule and make the most of what's available. This might mean surf theory, video analysis, exploring nearby beaches, or spending extra time in the pottery studio. Our focus is always on creating a memorable experience, whatever the conditions.
