About
us: Michael, Nicolau and Marta.
The Pure Flow Motions retreats in
Portugal were created by 3 friends with different skills but one
same passion – the Ocean!
We all met here in a small
picturesque village called Raposeira in Portugal and, along with
other nature activities, we share this strong passion for the Ocean
and for the love for surfing.
Michael Bijker is from the
Netherlands and has been traveling around the world for quite a
long time encountering more knowledge for his passion for body and
mind work, especially Mediation, Yoga, Qi Gong, Tai-chi, Surfing
and other techniques.
After all his traveling he found
this piece of paradise in Europe to be the ideal place to set up
this kind of retreats with surfing yoga meditation and other
activities. Focusing on the importance of connecting the mind and
the body throughout the awarness that you can get from mind and
body exercises helping each person to get to know it's real nature
and essence.
He is a certified 500hr
YogaAlliance teacher with also a yoga therapy
certification. Read more about Michael Bijker and his

Nicolau is half English, half
Portuguese. Having travelled around the world, Nicolau's passion
drew him back to this part of the world in Europe where he was
brought up in order to dedicate himself to activities that are more
directly linked to nature. He has experienced a wide range of
activities connected with the ocean and the land, as sailing,
diving, professional fishing, Surfing, organic agriculture,
photography, landscape arquitecture and Nature Guiding. His best
skill is his deep connection with Nature and his local knowledge of
this territory of Portugal. Because of his profound relationship
with nature he is the right person to be guided by through this
landscape . Nicolau chose to return to his roots making it his
home. His greatest pleasure as a nature Guide is to share the
beauty and secrets of this magnificient landscape with other
people, in a sustainable, responsible and generous way in the
retreats.

Marta was born and raised in
Portugal. Originaly from the centre of the Algarve, she as been
coming to surf to this area since a very young age. 11 years ago
she decided to move defenitively to the Natural Park of Vicentina
Coast (Southwest Algarve Portugal) and set up a surf school so she
could live within the ocean surroundings, live among unspoilt
nature and, of couse, to SURF! So she has been a surf teacher for
the last 10 years aswell as a local surf guide. With a wide
experience and knowledge of the local surf breaks she will be the
best person to get you in touch with the ocean and help you enjoy
the purest form of surfing - with your body or with a
surfboard. Together with yoga and nature walks, surfing is a great
aspect in order to create a blanced mind and body during the
retreats in Portugal.
