Soul Surfing: Return to Nature with Will Tan

After a beautiful soul-enriching 5 days last September, we’re bringing back another round of Soul Surfing adventure to those of you that need a break from your busy routine.

Find yourself in this 5-day yoga retreat – a journey to rediscovering what it means to let go and surrender. Connect back to the beauty of the nature around us – white sand private beaches, breathtaking sunsets, and the gentleness of the Whale Sharks – so you can appreciate the beauty within YOU.

Soul Surfing is a nature-immersive escape that takes you on a daily yoga and meditation practice surrounded by the tropical backdrop of Oslob, Cebu.

• The retreat offers a daily practice of yoga asanas that meld with the points of reflection for the day.
• Easing our way to a daily meditation practice that will be good for beginners, as well as regular practitioners in locations that are great for recharging.
• A visit to the prestigious blue waters of Sumilon Island for a much-deserved break from the concrete jungle of the city.
• An opportunity to be up close to the famous Whale Sharks of Oslob – you can watch from the bangkas (boats) or snorkel.
• Moments of silence that will allow you to have some well-deserved recharge and rejuvenation, while also being in an environment with like-minded souls, all looking and surfing for peace.
