Living a wholistic life - About being a yoga teacher at Surf & Yoga Mirissa

I arrived at a unique place. I still couldn’t believe that I had taken the plunge and broken out of my everyday life to now live the work and travel lifestyle. It feels special to finally be able to combine my work and passion. This is exactly what the Surf & Yoga Camp in Mirissa offers me. I recently started working there as a yoga teacher. The team welcomed me so warmly, as if we had known each other for a long time. I was immediately embraced by a family with open arms and am now part of the Surf & Yoga community.

I have the opportunity to contribute to the creation of the yoga schedule and thus incorporate my own ideas and inspirations. Together, we design a varied program: slow flow, vinyasa, yin yoga, pranayama, breathwork sessions, meditation, restorative yoga… All sessions are spread throughout the day and can be easily integrated into daily routines. This is perfect for balancing surfing and yoga and generating a holistic experience for our guests.

The camp’s yoga shala is located in the middle of nature, with the sights and sounds of the jungle all around us. The camp’s own dogs also like to join in the meditation from time to time and lie down peacefully next to us, creating a very calming atmosphere.

My cozy accommodation is right next to the camp, which made it very easy for me to arrive here and get to know everyone. Every evening at the family dinner, I’m enchanted by fantastic vegetarian food. I connect with people from all over the world and experience entertaining conversations.

It’s really fulfilling for me to work here because it doesn’t feel like work. I have the chance to share my vision and passion with people so that together we can all create a more empathetic awareness of a balanced life and mental health.

Feeling myself, feeling whole, and always sheltered by a warm and protective energy are impressions that I will take from here – impressions that will stay with me my whole life.
