In partnership with our friends at AquaSurf in Santa Monica, this session explores building strength and confidence in the water, stepping into your power one wave at a time.
This Empowerment-focused session is designed to help you reconnect with your inner strength and self-trust. Together, we’ll explore what strength feels like in the body—how to access it, how to hold it, and how to return to it when life pulls you off center.
Through guided intention-setting and movement, we’ll ground into the body before entering the ocean for an hour of surfing or boogie boarding. The waves offer a powerful mirror—inviting you to practice balance, resilience, and trust in real time.
We’ll close with restorative yoga and reflection on the sand, helping you integrate the experience and leave feeling more connected, confident, and anchored in yourself.

Find Your Flow: Surf, Sisterhood, and Self-Care
Women’s Wellness Surf Days invite you to experience sanctuary by the sea—whether you’re a first-timer ready to find your stoke, a mother craving a little space to exhale, or someone navigating an experience of trauma or grief, this 2-hour session is intended for anyone looking to find healing in the waves. Through surf therapy, movement, and shared intention, we gather in sisterhood to reconnect with our bodies, our stories, and the wisdom of the waves. We’ll start with a mindful intention and movement to ground and awaken the body, then dive into an hour of expression in the ocean (boogie boarding or surfing), and finish with restorative yoga and reflection on the sand, leaving you feeling restored, connected, and renewed.
