Join Eco Yoga Surf throughout 2024 at
Dawn Collective Shala, Arrifana, Portugal
In this class we move between the yang and yin spectrum of yoga, with strong paced dynamic vinyasa based on Quantum Yoga principles, and depending on the energy of the group (or the Ocean) we might go stronger or softer.
There will be breathwork, with a flowing sequence to regulate the Ayurvedic doshas and foster steadiness and ease. The asanas are an opportunity to tune into the subtle energy of the body, and are followed by a deep and nourishing relaxation.
Dawn Collective Shala is in Vale de Telha, Arrifana. It’s a space to slow down, breathe and simply be.

Yoga offerings - style specific
Restorative Yin
Yin yoga works with connective tissue and fascia to provide a deeper release through long held (2-5 minutes) postures. The poses are simple, all floor based and accessible for all, regardless of age, ability or ailments.
It taps into a stillness that triggers deep breathing and helps relax the mind, allowing for a restorative, cooling and calming practice that is perfect to unwind with.
Yin/yang or Slow Flow
Using the combination of flow and stillness, we observe the sensations in our bodies and minds for a mindful practice. Less emphasis on movement means we can reside in poses for longer and feel into the benefits of a tradition hatha style of yoga.
We’ll also be incorporating longer holds as in yin as well as moon or sun salutations to create heat. This combination provides a well rounded and balanced practice.
Dynamic Vinyasa Flow
In this practice of breath syncronised movement we stretch, strengthen and consciously transition between postures that help energise and wake us up. We look toward core stability to be the foundation of functional movement and develop our understanding of body mechanics through standing postures and arm balances, aimed to invigorate our minds and bodies. The pace is fast and flowing, but with ample time for relaxation to finish and regulate the nervous system.
