WHAT DOES 'A HOLISTIC SURF & YOGA RETREAT' MEAN?
Let us share with you our personal translation of a ‘holistic’ way of life:
A holistic lifestyle is a way of living life looking at the big picture – the whole person. The physical body, the spiritual body, the energy body and the mental body. Being holistically balanced means being connected to wholeness. We are not trying to improve our life by focusing on just one thing.
A holistic life focusses on diet, physical movement, personal growth, spirituality, living purposeful, mental health, emotional balance and rest.
In our retreats we take care of each section.
On can assume that ‘surfing’ fulfils the purpose of the physical movement. At Floating You though, ‘surfing’ touches many layers of a holistic lifestyle and it became on of our dearest missions to introduce you surfing as a ‘wholesome’ experience. Surfing can be very spiritual: Being out there in nature. Understanding how the element of water can make us feel. Restructuring our perspective and allowing the ocean to humble us as everything out there is bigger than you and me. Take the importance out of our every day ‘problems’ and try to look at them with new angles. Being present with our surrounding, going for a sunset surf and witness how nature paints the most beautiful colours around you while you sit in the middle of it all. Surfing can be mentally challenging and once being aware of it, it pushes you towards growth. We use ‘surfing’ to teach about our healthy and false ego. We use surfing to detect our ‘monkey mind’, the endless ‘selftalk’ that can go all over the place in seconds. Surfing serves as a guide, it has the power to mirror many layers of your life for example the very conditioned need most of us feel ‘to be good in something fast’. Surfing is about being kind to yourself, allowing yourself to be playful. Rejuvenation, cleanse, feel alive, feel connected, refreshed & grateful for this gift called life.
