Retreats
At Waves & Wellness, we create experiences that bring together surfing, yoga, and community in a way that feels welcoming, intentional, and deeply connected to nature. Every offering is designed to help you build confidence, cultivate presence, and experience the joy of moving with the ocean.
Our goal is to create a space where you can challenge yourself, connect with your body, and leave feeling supported and inspired.

Build a strong foundation in surfing through expert instruction, ocean awareness, and a supportive environment that helps you feel at home in the water.
Intentional Surf-Informed Yoga
Yoga rooted in philosophy and designed for surfers, blending mobility, strength, breathwork, and mindfulness to help you move with greater ease in and out of the waves.
Community & Empowerment
Meaningful connections, shared experiences, and a welcoming space where women encourage one another to grow, challenge themselves, and celebrate every step of the journey.

What the girls are saying
“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!!”
— Cassidy M“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.”
— Diana B"I came into the Waves & Wellness retreat a little nervous—my first surf lesson had left me scared of the ocean, and I wanted a chance to replace that memory with a better one. By the end of the beginner lesson (shoutout to instructor Oliver!), I felt genuinely comfortable managing my board on my own. That alone felt like a huge win.
Hana and Amira created such a welcoming, relaxing environment—you could tell how much care went into every detail. I'd highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking for a supportive community of cool women, or just an excuse to try something new. I came in hoping to replace a scary memory—I left with that, and a lot more confidence in myself."
