Join us for a little self care!

A stress-free, nourishing, surf morning with the girls!

Surfing is Self Care Workshop

Surfing is Self Care is more than a surf workshop. It’s a women’s experience designed to build confidence, connection, and calm through movement, breathwork, and time in the ocean.

Together, we’ll move through breathwork, surf-focused yoga, guided surfing, reflection, and a nourishing lunch in a supportive and empowering environment.

Whether you’re brand new to surfing or looking to deepen your relationship with the ocean, this experience is about feeling grounded, capable, and cared for.

Your Day Includes

  • Breathwork for surfing and nervous system regulation
  • Surf-focused yoga for strength, mobility, and balance
  • Guided surf instruction for beginner and intermediate surfers
  • Reflection and integration time
  • Community connection and time in nature
  • A nourishing lunch prepared by Woo Casa

We’ll meet in Kill Devil Hills. Part of the workshop will take place indoors in a cozy studio/house setting, and the surf portion will take place at a nearby beach access.
