“Vinyasa with Natalie feels like the best combination of coming home in yourself, in peace… while nurturing, strengthening your body, and finding space in everything; she allows and proposes many variations and practices optional, beautiful way of moving into the class, building up, and guiding us through savasana. Feels like a tiny retreat.”
Our Mission
We care about the Ocean.
Eco Yoga Surf brings together yoga, surf culture and sustainability to reconnect people with the sea. Through community, ocean awareness and movement, we encourage a culture of care for our Blue Planet.
Our surfing citizen science project contributes to the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, helping surfers learn more about and contribute to, the ocean they love.
Ocean Literacy for Surfers
Check out “A surfer’s guide to ocean literacy”, a 9 part course made exclusively for Surf with Amigas that you can now access through their online platform the Surf with Amigas Collective.
This course is designed to help take your love of the ocean to the next level, through learning about the ocean, climate, ecosystems and how humans and the ocean are inextricably interconnected.

“The ocean touches you with every breath you take, every drop of water you drink, every bite you consume. Everyone, everywhere is inextricably connected to and utterly dependent upon the existence of the sea.””
yoga
““I wondered whether water is a mirror for our darker emotions as much as it is an engine for our happiness. Water quiets all the noise, all the distractions, and connects you to your own thoughts.” ”
surf
“To find success in surfing, we must learn to be in harmony with nature. This will bring a sense of peace. By sharing this peace, and contributing to other people’s happiness, we can find the true meaning of life.”
