yoga & functional training
__
Complementing your surfing practice, you'll enjoy yoga or functional training sessions focused on flexibility, strength, and mental focus to support your journey.
Improved flexibility from Yoga increases your range of motion, allowing for smoother maneuvers and reducing the risk of injury. The Vinyasa flows are intuitive and immersive, guided by sound, scent, and sensation, offering space for all levels to explore movement in a way that feels deeply personal. It’s a chance to reconnect with your body, your breath, and your inner compass.
With breathwork and meditation woven throughout, each practice becomes a space to calm the mind, improve focus, and develop breath control - key elements for maintaining composure and energy during demanding sessions.
Together, these practices support mental clarity, reduce tension, and enhance your overall resilience in the water.
By integrating strength, flexibility, and mindful techniques, you'll be better prepared to perform at your highest level and enjoy surfing with more confidence and ease.

Guilherme had his first contact with surfing at the age of 7 in the coastal town of São Pedro do Estoril, Portugal, and it quickly became his way of life.

A certified surf coach and international surf contest judge, Guilherme combines technical expertise with a deep passion for the ocean, helping surfers of all levels build confidence, connect with nature, and break through the small details that might be holding them back.
Video analysis plays a key role in this journey. By recording and reviewing your sessions, you’ll gain valuable insights into your technique, identify areas for improvement, and see your progress in real time. Our coaches will guide you through personalized feedback to help you execute maneuvers with greater precision and style. With small group sizes, personalized attention, and the stunning backdrop of Ericeira’s iconic surf spots, this week is all about unlocking your full surfing potential.
