Figueira da Foz is the ideal destination for surfers of all levels, whether you're a beginner, have some experience, or fall somewhere in between. Our surf lessons are flexible and tailored to your skills, making them accessible to everyone.
Our experienced surf coaches will teach you everything about surfing techniques, using surf gear, and how waves form during your surf vacation. With our comprehensive surf package, you'll be able to catch your first waves within a week, even as a beginner. For more advanced surfers, we also offer lessons. During the intermediate lessons, you'll learn how to improve your skills and build on your previous progress without starting from scratch.

The Coach

The Coach
Hello, I'm Anke! I'm passionate about movement and its healing power for both the body and mind. My journey with yoga began at the age of fourteen, and since then, I've increasingly found my way to the yoga mat. After a stressful period in my life, during which I experienced panic attacks and health issues, yoga offered me confidence in my body and peace in my mind. I wish this feeling for everyone.
That's why since 2015, I've pursued various yoga trainings. Today, I'm a registered yoga instructor with the Yoga Alliance, with over 700 hours of training. My passion is guiding people in their yoga practice every day.
In October 2022, I also opened my own boutique yoga studio in Wemmel: The Yoga Penthouse (@theyogapenthouse on Instagram). In addition to my work as a yoga teacher, I'm currently studying osteopathy at the College Sutherland in Amsterdam and providing integrative body massages.
