The yoga
We pride ourselves on offering quality teaching with a maximum of 12 students with an inspiring dedicated teacher. Whether you are new to yoga or an old hand, this is a genuine opportunity to see your understanding & practice of yoga flourish. The morning practice of Astanga yoga is designed to cleanse and purify the body by building up heat through the breath and sequence of postures performed. It is also ideal for surfers, developing strength and lung capacity! Our evening classes provide a relaxing wind down after a day of sun, sea and surf. This is an opportunity to explore aspects of yoga that interest you and support your Astanga practice. Yoga will be held either in the beautiful studio overlooking the bay, or on the beach. Laura Gilmore came to Astanga after years of practicing Hatha and Iyengar yoga and brings this wealth of knowledge to her classes. With warmth and humour, Laura conveys the underlying teachings of yoga through the physical asana practice. The surfing
Fully qualified and experienced instructors will guide you through the basics and encourage you to get up and go! For those already confident on the waves the dynamic coaching courses are the perfect way to fast track your surfing progress. The Tigger’s apartments are ideally located for various surfing locations for both beginners and pros. The timetable & food!
