While somewhat remote, Popoyo's charm lies in its blend of excellent surfing, natural beauty, and a relaxed local vibe, attracting those seeking a peaceful coastal escape.

Her classes are more than just physical practice; they're guided explorations of breath, movement, and self-discovery, thoughtfully designed to enhance your surfing. Dynamic Vinyasa cultivates the core strength and fluid movements crucial for paddling and maneuvering on your board, building essential strength, balance, and flexibility for paddling and riding. While Yin and Restorative sessions improve focus, body awareness, recovery, and enhance the crucial mind-body connection needed to read and ride waves with grace.
