The yoga classes are always designed to complement surf lessons. In good weather, the classes are given either in the garden at the Surf House or at the beach of As Furnas, while in bad weather they take place in the cultural centre of Xuño. The classes are outdoor on our beautiful yoga platform in the middle of our own little forest.
We only work with experienced and qualified yoga teachers who know exactly what constitutes the right combination of stretching, breathing and concentration, and relaxation.
Spanish language course
The course should be fun in the first place. Within a week you’ll not become an expert neither you shall be able to write poetry in Spanish. But the language course should serve you as some basis on which you can build later. The aim is to implement what you have learned and apply it in everyday situations as well.
In our language course, all aspects of a general language training are taken into account, however, the communicative aspect stands in the foreground.
In addition to the ideal conditions for surfing, the area around the Surf House also offers a wide range of activities and excursions.
Whether you choose beach volleyball, fishing, snorkeling, rock climbing, horse riding, scuba diving or sailing with a partner in the area, you’ll definitely find something to suit your taste.
But if sport alone is not enough for you, there is a number of interesting destinations, ranging from the impressive Celtic settlement in the neighbourhood of Castro de Baroña, the Galician capital Santiago de Compostela, to fishing villages and their charming ports such as Rianxo and Pobra do Caramiñal.
