Flow State: Coed Surf & Yoga Retreat | El Sunzal, El Salvador

A co-ed surf & yoga barefoot retreat ~ vibe with the tides & find your flow state | December 6 - 12/13, 2027

Flow state is a feeling of being in the zone, where action and presence merge, awareness heightens and time slows down. What would it feel like to take a full week barefoot in soft sand, quiet mornings waking to the sun rising over a perfectly peeling right hand wave, meditative yoga filled afternoons, nourishing meals, starry nights and lots of high fives? Think adult summer camp, but in December, fueling the child inside who is begging to come out and play!

Join Chelsea for a seven day, six or seven night co-ed retreat of intentional connection, grounding and simplicity. This retreat is for the yogi who loves to travel, make new friends, experience new places and slow down to a beautifully simple life. This retreat is for the brand new surfer who dreams of standing up on a long board, the beginner to intermediate who would would like to hone in their skills and for the advanced short board surfer looking to level up- El Sunzal literally has it all just steps from your bed!

Each morning will start with a customized surf session with your own private coach. After 5 days of private one on one surf lessons, you will see and feel huge improvements in your surfing, even if you’ve never held a board before! By day two you will slip into a rhythm that feels simple and beautiful. Before or after your surf session enjoy local, authentic and tasty breakfasts oceanside, take a nap or walk into town, back in time for lunch. After lunch, beat the heat in the shade with afternoon yoga/meditation/breathwork workshops with Chelsea on the 5th floor open air yoga shala with absolutely amazing views. Another optional al a carte afternoon surf session, or time for a nap, journaling, catching up on a new book, dip in the infinity pool, or join the pick up beach volley ball games in front of the villa. Dinner on site as a group or into town to taste some of the local cuisine and enjoy the local culture of El Tunco. Catch the sunset, take in the stars in the vast sky, then enjoy a deep night’s sleep- you earned it!

El Salvador and El Sunzal beach are absolute gems. Enjoy a simple week remembering what really fulfills you. Reconnect with the earth, let the water clear your mind and your spirit and step into your flow state. Surf, yoga, sun, pupusas (if you don’t know yet, you will! a delicious local snack) and lots of smiles. Recharge your prana life force, take a big exhale, slip off your shoes, connect, play, soak up that soothing El Salvadorian sun and return to the things in life that really matter. Flow with la ola, the wave- this is a trip you will remember!
