Built into every week

Yoga and sport are better together

Every camp week at Algarve Watersport includes daily yoga — not as an optional add-on, but as a natural part of how the week runs.

Morning yoga wakes up the body before you hit the water. Evening yoga undoes the tension after a long session on the board. You sleep better. You move better. The next surf or kite session feels easier than yesterday’s.

It’s not a yoga retreat — it’s sport performance and recovery built into the same week. No separate booking, no extra cost. It’s just there.

  • Two sessions each day — morning and afternoon
  • Every day a different style — you’ll try things you haven’t done before
  • All sessions in the garden — open air, usually with a breeze
  • Complete beginners welcome, no experience needed
  • Drop-in format — come when you can, skip when you can’t
  • Mats and props provided
  • Sessions are drop-in — come to any class, no sign-up needed

Yoga is included in every camp package. Not staying with us? You’re welcome to join any session as an external guest for €20 per class.

Eight styles. One week.

You don’t need to know your Vinyasa from your Yin before you arrive. Each session is explained as you go — come curious, that’s the only requirement.

Vinyasa Yoga

Dynamic

A strong, flowing practice that links breath to movement. You build real strength in muscles and joints, learn to move with control, and work up a genuine sweat. Challenging and rewarding in equal measure.

Taught by Jane

Vinyasa Flow

Dynamic

A grounded, creative flow that blends dynamic movement with somatic awareness. Evelyn’s approach is fluid and curious — you move with presence, not just choreography. Energising without being relentless.

Taught by Evelyn

Slow Vinyasa

Gentle

All the connection of a vinyasa practice, at a pace that lets you actually feel it. Breath leads, movement follows. Good for sore muscles, tired bodies, and anyone who needs a bit of space between surf sessions.

Taught by Agata

Mobility Yoga

Active

Where yoga meets mobility training. Breath-synchronised movement that builds active strength through functional range of motion — not just flexibility, but real control. Especially useful for surfers and kiters.

Taught by Agata

Yang to Yin

Blend

Two practices in one session. You start with an energising Yang flow to build heat and focus, then slow all the way down into long-held Yin stretches. Leave feeling both revitalised and deeply released.

Taught by Jane

Yin Yoga

Restorative

Passive, floor-based holds of 3–5 minutes each. Targets the deep connective tissue — fascia, ligaments, joints — that active practice doesn’t reach. The body’s answer to a long day in the water.

Taught by Jane

Pranayama

Breath & Energy

Conscious breath control — one of yoga’s most powerful tools. Guided breathing techniques to calm the nervous system, build energy, and carry more steadiness into your sessions in the water and in life.

Taught by Mukta

Yoga Sadhana

Strong Practice

Rooted in Mysore Ashtanga and Classical Tantra — strong postures, conscious breath, and touches of mantra and kriyā. A disciplined practice with real depth. Mukta makes it accessible without watering it down.

Taught by Mukta

Meet the instructors

Four different teachers, four different backgrounds. What they share: proper training, a genuine love for what they do, and patience for all levels.

Jane
Originally from Germany
Vinyasa
5-Element Yin
Yang-to-Yin

Teaching for 5 years, practising much longer. Jane teaches strong, dynamic Vinyasa and 5-Element Yin — a passive practice that releases deep tension and balances the nervous system. She also runs Yang-to-Yin sessions: you build heat first, then slow all the way down. “Yoga isn’t just the poses. It’s to be lived.”

Agata — yoga instructor at Algarve Watersport surf camp, Lagos Portugal
Agata
Poland / Ireland → now Portugal
Hatha
Vinyasa
Mobility Flow

Certified Hatha & Vinyasa teacher with a practice going back to 2013. Agata’s signature is Mobility Flow — a blend of Vinyasa and functional movement that bridges passive flexibility and active strength. Breath-synchronised, continuous, and genuinely useful for anyone who moves their body in sport.

Evelyn — yoga instructor at Algarve Watersport surf camp, Lagos Portugal
Evelyn O’Brien
Ireland → now based in Portugal
Vinyasa
Somatic Movement

Six years teaching, fifteen years practising. Evelyn blends dynamic Vinyasa with somatic awareness — movement as inquiry rather than performance. Her sessions are grounded, creative and genuinely energising. Expect fluid sequences that give you space to explore how your body actually feels that day.

Mukta — yoga instructor at Algarve Watersport surf camp, Lagos Portugal
Mukta
A child of many places
Mysore Ashtanga
Classical Tantra
Pranayama

A decade of practice across Mysore Ashtanga — strong, posture-and-breath-led — and Classical Tantra, which works with sound, breath and subtle inner energy. Mukta also teaches Pranayama (breathing techniques) designed to keep you calm when things get intense in the water. A rare combination of disciplines in one teacher.

Questions about yoga at camp

Yes — daily yoga is included in every camp week, no extra cost. Both the morning and afternoon sessions, Monday through Friday, are part of what you’ve already paid for.

None at all. Each session is taught in a way that works for complete beginners — every posture is explained and alternatives are offered for different levels. Many guests try yoga for the first time at camp and leave wanting to continue. If you do have experience, the Vinyasa and Ashtanga sessions will still challenge you.

Of course. Everything is drop-in — join when you want to, skip when you don’t. Some guests do every session all week. Others do one or two. There’s no pressure either way. That said, most people who arrive intending to skip end up going.

All sessions take place in the camp garden — open air, shaded, with a breeze. It’s a covered area so sessions still run in warm or light-rain weather. Yoga mats are provided; just bring comfortable clothes and water.

Yes — and noticeably. Yoga builds the shoulder strength and hip flexibility that surfing demands, and the recovery sessions (Yin, Slow Flow, Gentle Flow) undo the physical toll of daily surf sessions. You’ll paddle more efficiently and feel less beaten up by Thursday. It’s one of the reasons Kelly Slater has practised yoga for decades — it’s not separate from surfing, it’s part of it.

Session times and instructors can shift slightly week to week depending on the season and schedule. The format stays the same: morning and afternoon sessions, Monday to Friday, across the five main styles. The timetable above reflects the current week’s schedule.

Yoga is included. Pick your sport.

Every camp week comes with daily yoga — whichever sport you choose. Same garden, same instructors, same all-inclusive format.
