Frequently asked questions

Where is the retreat hosted?

Our Surf & Yoga Retreat takes place in Uluwatu, Bali, a stunning coastal region known for its dramatic cliffs, pristine beaches, and world-class surf breaks. The retreat venue offers a peaceful environment close to nature while remaining accessible to nearby beaches, temples, and cultural attractions.

Why is Uluwatu one of the best destinations for a surf and yoga retreat?

Uluwatu is renowned for its consistent surf, breathtaking ocean views, and relaxed atmosphere. The combination of powerful ocean energy and serene landscapes makes it an ideal setting for both surfing and yoga practice.

When is the best time to attend a surf and yoga retreat in Uluwatu?

The best surf season is typically May to September , during Bali’s dry season when waves are most consistent. However, retreats run year-round and each season offers a unique experience of Bali’s natural beauty.

Do I need prior surfing experience?

Not at all. Our surf sessions are designed for all experience levels. Whether you’re stepping onto a board for the first time or looking to refine your skills, our experienced instructors ensure you are surfing in conditions suitable for your level.

Is surf equipment provided?

Yes. We provide surfboards and necessary equipments suited to local conditions. If you have your own preferred board, you are welcome to bring it along.

What if the surf conditions aren’t ideal?

The Bukit Peninsula, where Uluwatu is located, is known for its year-round surf consistency. Our team monitors tides and conditions frequently to ensure sessions take place during safe and most enjoyable windows.

What type of yoga will be practiced?

The retreat includes a combination of Hatha, Vinyasa, and yin yoga, along with meditation and breathwork. These practices complement surfing by improving flexibility, strength, balance, and recovery.

I’ve never experienced sound healing before. What should I expect?

Sound healing is a deeply relaxing experience where participants lie comfortably while the vibrations of singing bowls and instruments create soothing sound waves. This practice helps calm the mind, release tension, and support deep relaxation.

What are the benefits of combining surfing and yoga?

Surfing and yoga work beautifully together. Yoga enhances balance, flexibility, breath control, and core strength, all of which support surfing performance. Surfing, in turn, builds endurance and fosters a deeper connection with nature.

Yuka Daimon Sound Healer (Osaka, Japan)

I completed the hybrid course, and I truly loved the experience. The training is well organized and enriching. The teachers are patient, knowledgeable, and extremely approachable. They are genuinely kind, very responsive to students’ needs and requests. Rishikesh itself is a magical place, and the school location is perfect for reflection, connection, and an introspective journey. Already looking forward to my next trip to Rishikesh.

Tiziana Di Ronco Architect (London, Great Britain)

Amazing experience and best school! Truly everything, starting from experienced teachers, well organised schedule, amazing food and very helpful staff . I felt warm welcomed since very beginning. All classes were interesting and full of knowledge.I have learnt much more then I expected. About yoga but also about myself. I wasn't sure at beginning which school choose but now I know that it was best choice I could make.

Anna Misiolek Masseuse (Saas Fee, Switzerland)

Authentic and life changing experience. Absolutely recommend! Teachers were knowledgeable, experienced and patient. I loved the schedule, especially morning practice, before sunset and philosophy classes. Location was local and authentic and pretty cool being in the birth place of yoga by the river Ganges. So many great memories and I'm excited to now go a pass on the practices I've been taught! I will come back to SVL Yoga.
