Yoga and Freediving
Enhance your swim skills with free-diving lessons and relax and unwind with yoga, a perfect compliment to whale swimming!
Free diving is the most natural way to explore the underwater world. Uninhibited on a single breath. Its a great way to experience a state of connectedness and relaxation, free of gravity in a meditative state of flow. Free diving is the perfect way to experience close interactions with the whales.
Yoga sessions will have you feeling your best, balancing strength, flexibilty and peace of mind. Blending Vinyasa, Yin and Yang styles, our yoga sessions will elevate you to heightened states that the whales will be able to relate to.
