Our
Philosophy
Life is a great ocean of potentials. We are sailing on this ocean and we are the captain of our own ship. In order to set our destination and to sail where we want to sail, we have to maintain our vessel in good condition, we need to know the workings of our ship, the workings of the tides, the currents and the weather etc.
So too must we know the workings of our mind in order to create and to live fully. If we want to learn we have to pay attention. Attention, awareness or consciousness is something that we tend to lack during most of our lives. if we want to feel the connection with the Moment, God, The Creator, the NOW, whichever way one looks at it, or whatever one wants to call it we have to become sensitive and conscious. We are a part of universal creation just as creation is a part of us. When we awaken we can flow and create harmoniously with the universal creative force.
We are conscious, sensitive and creative beings that have the power and the right to decide our state of mind. We experience this life with both our body and mind. If they are healthy and 'correctly tuned', a harmonious life unfolds in and around us. If we are unaware of the workings of them and live with unconsciously, we will be victims of all the negative states our thoughts and actions produce in our daily life. We can train our mind and body to become more aware and more conscious about our lives and the reality it produces. During this surf yoga retreat in Portugal you will develop a more content, creative and peaceful state of mind for a more enjoyable and connected life.
The Area - Algarve, Portugal
Finding a place
like the West Coast of the Algarve in Portugal is like
finding a secret paradise or an Oasis in the middle of a wide
desert. We all had this feeling when we first arrived here. We felt
the real powerful nature of Portugal and the strong energy of the
Atlantic Ocean as we watched the waves form far away and
finish here in these shores of Portugal.
The surf
yoga retreat is held in the beautiful, pure and wild southwest of
Europe in the Algarve- Portugal, in the mythical town
of Sagres, you are going to be sleeping in
a wonderful four star hotel overlooking the Atlantic Ocean
. A perfect place for this retreat to relax and enjoy
the local outdoor activities and of course to experience nature to
the full, starting with the sunrise which you can
watch from your room – it rises just in front of the bay
window behind the protected islands of Martinhal. If you
are more of a sunset person you can either bike or drive towards
the famous Cape Saint Vincent and watch from there the most amazing
sunset of the western world. Almost like an island, the
south west coast of the Algarve in Portugal Europe, is a
narrow peninsula surrounded by the Ocean from west to
south.
With the help of
our specialized crew, you are led through the natural elements in
Portugal, as Water and Land; an experience which has
something to offer to each one of us.
The
Pure Flow Motions surf yoga retreats are designed for people that
are looking for an insight on their life in a harmonious way,
treating both body and mind to become more awake and aware of their
lives. In a natural environment our senses can become awaken and
our body feels more free to experience some new
challenges.
Meditation
is
extremely helpful for a conscious and free mind. Training it in a
positive way makes you more ready for your daily challenges and
your look into life will be broader and connected to the
LIFE.
Surfing is a full experience with nature
as well as a therapy. For us surfing is the sport that is more
connected with one of our favourite elements, Water: the Ocean.
Feeling the energy of the waves and understanding that you can use
this to have fun and to enjoy this ride with the help of a
board is a unique feeling of freedom. This area is perfect for a
surf yoga retreat in Portugal. Ideal for surfing, weather you just
start to surf or surf for a long time already. The retreat is both
beginners and advanced surfers.
Yoga
(mainly Hatha
Yoga, sivananda style) exercises are the essential elements
to connect with your mind, body and Nature. Starting the day
with yoga exercises will get you ready to ride the waves during the
day, get more aware of your body, achieve more flexibility and go
beyond your limits.
Doing a yoga session in the afternoon gives you the necessary relaxation and inner peace just before a great vegetarian meal and a restorative sleep. This surf yoga retreat is mainly for beginners and intermediate yoga practisioners. Michael Bijker will do the yoga and meditation classes on the retreat, he is a 500hr YA certified teacher with also a yoga therapy certificate.
