SURF SOUL SISTERHOOD
the experience
Join us for an unforgettable retreat. At She Flows the grounding practice of yoga meets the playful freedom of surfing. Rooted in deep presence and following the rhythm of the ocean, this experience invites you to reconnect with your body, your intuition, and the natural flow guiding us through life.
Imagine arriving at a cozy Portuguese home, nestled in nature and filled with inviting corners that whisper serenity. Every detail is carefully crafted with intention, creating a space where you can slow down, breathe more deeply, and fully come into your own.
She Flows is a lovingly curated journey rooted in connection, movement, and the simple joy of being.
Here, yoga and surf become powerful tools to bring you back to yourself. Through daily movement practices, time in the ocean, and embodied exploration, you’re invited to move in ways that feel true, fluid, and alive. Music and gentle rhythms accompany our days, offering space for expression, dance, laughter, and shared moments that feel both grounding and expansive.
Nourishing, wholesome meals support the journey as a natural extension of care. Fresh, vegetarian food fuels your body with warmth and simplicity, allowing you to feel energized, balanced, and held.
Join us for this beautiful dance and allow the ocean to become your teacher, movement your medicine, and community your anchor.
She Flows is a retreat for those who long to reconnect, move with intention, trust their intuition, and live in rhythm with nature.

She Flows is an invitation to reconnect with your intuition. When you step into the ocean, everything shifts. You begin to sense, to feel, to listen.You learn to read the environment, respond to its rhythms, and trust your instincts. This is where intuitive intelligence awakens. Surfing naturally brings you into the present moment, into your body, and into a raw dialogue with nature.
She Flows is made for women who feel drawn to the ocean - whether you’re stepping on a board for the first time or you’re already confident. We will compile small groups along your individual level. Professional surf lessons are included, so you’ll be supported in building your skills at your own pace, whatever your level.

At She Flows, we create space for you to come back to yourself - through movement, stillness, and real connection. Our yoga and movement sessions are designed to support you in feeling grounded and present, helping you release stress, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with your inner rhythm. This isn’t about performance or perfect poses - it’s about feeling.
Alongside yoga, our women’s circles are a safe place to exhale. A space to reflect, set intentions, share what’s on your heart (or simply listen), and feel held by a community of like-minded women. These moments aren’t “activities” to tick off - they’re rituals that bring you back to your truth and intuition, so you leave with more clarity, softness, and trust in yourself.

You’ll leave with new friendships, shared memories, and a sense of belonging that stays with you long after you return home.
who is 'she flows' for?
She flows are women-only trips designed for women who are ready to step into their dream life.
Participants are open-minded, excited to form genuine connections with like-minded women, and eager to spend time in the ocean. This experience is for women who want to slow down, try something new, and uplevel their lives in a supportive, inspiring environment.
This is a curated group trip, so you can experience Portugal without the stress of planning logistics, activities, or navigating a new place on your own. Everything is thoughtfully organized for you.
It’s perfect for women who don’t want to solo travel, but don’t yet have like-minded friends to travel with - and who are ready to connect, grow, and step into their dream life together.
how she flows through
the days
Our days move with the rhythm of the ocean - and with you. That means each day can look a little different: sometimes we begin with a surf session, other days with a gentle morning yoga practice.

Hi, I’m Katja - so happy you’re here.
In 2023, I took a leap and travelled solo to Latin America, stepping away from the fast-paced corporate world and into something slower, more meaningful. A retreat in Colombia became a turning point: by slowing down, I reconnected with my intuition, my desires, and the deeper “why” behind the life I wanted to live.
When I finally slowed down and let the noise fade, everything became clearer. I realised I didn’t want to live on autopilot anymore - so I left my safe corporate job, started living as a digital nomad through surf towns around the world, and eventually found my way to Portugal, where I’m now creating a slower, more intentional life. Along the way, being surrounded by like-minded women inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and go after my dreams - and it changed everything. I quit my job in the automotive industry, became a creative entrepreneur and yoga instructor, and started building a community and space for women to feel supported, empowered, and truly themselves.
Now, we are excited to create that same experience for you through She flows - an immersive, curated week designed for women who want to travel solo (but not alone), surf, practice yoga, explore a new place, and reconnect with themselves Along the way, I’ll be sharing the tools that brought me back to me and my intuition - yoga, sound healing, journaling, breathwork, dancing, and more - so you can leave feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply aligned with the life you’re meant to live.

Hi , I'm Alina, and I'm so excited to meet you all!
My life has always been driven by a deep curiosity and an unquenchable urge to explore the world. My studies in Social Science ignited a passion for understanding diverse cultures and their unique ways of life, leading me to travel widely. It was during my explorations, particularly within the rich tapestry of Balinese culture, that I discovered the profound philosophy of Tri Hita Karana. This beautiful concept, fostering harmony with others, with nature, and within ourselves, deeply resonates with my approach to life. It became a guiding principle, shaping not just how I perceive the world but also how I hope to connect with each of you here, creating a space where these harmonies can truly flourish and help create a supportive environment.
Five years ago, a personal health challenge became a pivotal lesson, reinforcing the essential need to slow down and truly listen to my body's signals and intuition. It was then that surfing transformed into my most powerful tool, a form of true medicine. More than just a sport, it's a direct immersion in the present moment, demanding that we read the ocean's language and trust our instincts. This profound connection to the water, while simultaneously withdrawing from daily struggles, clears my mind, strengthens my inner calm, and brings unfiltered happiness.
As your surf guide, I'm here to support you in developing your own intuition, fostering that vital connection to your surroundings and your inner compass, both in and out of the water.
I'm excited to share this journey of exploration and empowerment with you, helping you find your unique flow.
