Ten women, one weekend, and a whole lot of salt water. Here's a look back at our first-ever retreat.

What the girls are saying about the Rockaway August Retreat

“I had the absolute best time with Waves & Wellness!! I wasn’t sure what to expect since I signed up last minute wanting to do something spontaneous, but my expectations were completely exceeded. Hana and Amira were so welcoming and kind, while also being incredibly knowledgeable about both yoga and surfing.

I hadn’t surfed in years and was definitely nervous I’d look crazy out there, but they made me feel so comfortable and confident. The whole experience was so much fun, and I genuinely couldn’t recommend Waves & Wellness more!!”

“I had such a great experience with Waves & Wellness! Between the yoga, time in the water, and being outside all weekend, I left feeling incredibly zen, present, and unplugged. I came in pretty new to surfing, but by the end I felt so much more comfortable and confident in the water. The atmosphere was supportive and relaxed, and one of my favorite parts was getting to meet such a great group of girls. It was the perfect little reset, and I would absolutely do it again.”

“Waves and Wellness led an awesome retreat! I felt taken care of, the activities were fun, rewarding, and community building. The yoga was perfect for the setting, and the surfing was a blast. Would highly recommend their retreats and hope to go on more in the future!”
