A DANCE WITH THE OCEAN
the experience
__​
​
Join us for a super fun longboard surf retreat at Nana House Ericeira and learn to dance with the ocean.
Our connection to the ocean is more than just riding waves - it's about trusting ourselves and the rhythm of nature. This retreat invites you to slow down, tune into your instincts, and experience the joy of longboarding in an inspiring, laid-back environment.
​
Our daily surf sessions are tailored for those who have been longboarding for a while or shortboarders willing to explore something new. Led by passionate coaches ready to nurture your skills and confidence.
Our team will share insights on wave reading and surf techniques and help you longboard with ease.
With video recordings of your surf sessions, you'll have the opportunity to see your progress from a different perspective. Our coaches will review clips with you, highlighting your strengths and areas for improvement, to help you understand your technique and develop greater awareness in the water.
​
Beyond the waves, engage in calming yoga and meditation to enhance your connection to body and mind. Gourmet local food, cozy accommodations, and a vibrant community await you.
​
Come ride the Atlantic with us, reconnect with nature, and leave refreshed - ready to dance with the ocean’s rhythm wherever you go.
yoga

​​​
Yoga at Nana House is not about performing - it’s about becoming.
Enhance your longboard journey with yin yoga (deep stretching sessions) and Vinyasa (dynamic flows) that honor your body’s natural rhythm. The intuitive Yoga invites you to explore movement through sound, scent, and sensation - creating space for all levels to connect deeply with themselves and the ocean’s pulse.
​
Tinas Yin Yoga sessions are a meditative, slow-paced practice designed to lovingly stretch your connective tissues, enhance joint mobility, and cultivate profound relaxation. Perfect for longboarders, Yin Yoga targets the hips, hamstrings, and lower back - areas often tight from hours on the water. Complementary, the Vinyasa sessions are dynamic, breath-led flows that build strength, balance, and focus-perfect for energizing the body before a day on the waves.
During these sessions, you’ll experience a quiet space for reflection - where breathwork and sensory awareness interweave - nurturing a feeling of being centered, relaxed, and connected to the ocean’s energy.
This mindful approach deepens your sense of ease, helping you move with more fluidity and resilience both on and off the mat and board.​
​
Whether you’re carving waves or just beginning your longboarding adventure, the complementaion with Yoga offers vital tools for increased flexibility, faster recovery, and overall well-being. It’s a soulful practice that harmonizes your body, mind, and the natural world, making every ride more effortless and joyful.

At the heart of the house is the intimate yoga space. Bathed in natural light and infused with calming energy, it’s where they gather to move, breathe, and tune inwards.
