With Blanka
Yoga for your surf days
Shoulders, hips and breath — on the mat before or after your session with Luís. Small groups by the ocean in Santa Cruz, for beginners and intermediates.
Part of your stay
Add yoga to your stay
You’re here for the waves — yoga is the easy add-on. Not a separate retreat or studio: book one class or a few sessions we arrange around your surf with Luís. Same school, same Atlantic, small groups so Blanka can actually see you on the mat.

Styles at the school
What fits your day
All styles welcome beginners and intermediates. Most guests who surf with Luís start with Yoga for Surfers — but you can mix styles across your stay.
Yoga for Surfers
Shoulders, hips, breath — what paddling and pop-ups stress most. The go-to class after a morning in the water, or to warm up before your session.
Vinyasa Yoga
Flow and breath — a calm start before surf, or unwind when the Atlantic has taken your energy.
Gentle Yoga 55+
Slow, adapted practice for bodies that prefer patience over pace. Ideal for parents or friends visiting Santa Cruz who are not surfing.
Yoga Shape
Strength and tone through mindful poses. Structure between surf days without leaving the mat exhausted.
