In partnership with AquaSurf in Santa Monica, this session explores building an intentional practice in gratitude.

Just as the ocean offers endless invitations to slow down and take in the small, fleeting moments—the way light dances and sparkles across the water, the cool mist of ocean spray, the warmth of the sun as it dips below the horizon, the quiet connection of sharing space in the lineup—we begin to notice how this same awareness can carry into our everyday lives. Often, it’s in the simplest things that gratitude lives. Here, we learn to soften our attention and recognize the beauty and blessings that surround us each day.

The ocean is also a powerful teacher of presence—and perspective. Standing at the shoreline or floating beyond the break, you begin to feel it: the vastness, the movement, the living ecology all around you. Something bigger than you—and something you’re a part of.

We’ll begin our session with gentle grounding and intention-setting, tuning into the body and breath. Then, we carry that awareness into the water for an hour of surfing or boogie boarding, supported by the AquaSurf team—where even the smallest moments become invitations to notice, feel, and appreciate.

We’ll close with restorative yoga and reflection on the sand, creating space to integrate and anchor into a deeper sense of presence, connection, and enoughness.

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.
