Surf • Soul • Adventure
Join us for 8 days of surf, Rocket Yoga, community and adventure in the laid-back village of Ayampe, Ecuador. We'll spend our days flowing through oceanfront yoga, learning to surf, exploring hidden waterfalls, sharing nourishing farm-to-table meals, and soaking in the magic of Ecuador's Pacific coast. Staying at the beautiful Vistamar Retreat, this week is an invitation to unplug, breathe deeply, embrace adventure, and reconnect with yourself alongside an incredible community of like-minded adventurers. Whether you're catching your first wave, excited to brush up on your Spanish or simply craving sunshine and simplicity, this is your chance to slow down, play and chase the afterglow.
Who this Retreat is for
This retreat is for the person who's craving a reset. The one who feels most alive outside in nature, loves trying new things, and believes growth happens just beyond our comfort zone. Whether you're brand new to surfing or are a pro, have never rolled out a yoga mat or have been practicing yoga for years, all experience levels are welcome. If you're longing for sunshine, ocean air, meaningful connection, and a week that blends an immersive travel experience with a healthy blend of adventure and rest, you'll feel right at home. Come solo, with the love of your life, or bring a friend to share your room for a discounted rate; either way, you'll leave with salty hair, a full heart, and a community that's cheering you on.
The Rhythm of the Week
This is a choose your own adventure retreat. There will be two opportunities to gather for yoga each day and signature Afterglow experiences throughout the week, but there is plenty of time to follow your own rhythm.
