KITE & YOGA WEEK

A week full of power and relaxation, sea and wind: kitesurfing meets yoga, plus stand up paddling unit!

As a kitesurfer you need good body awareness, strength and flexibility. Each sport challenges different muscle groups and body parts in terms of strength, endurance, balance and flexibility. With kitesurfing, there are specific body regions that are stressed to different extents, depending on your ability. A clear mind, concentration on the essentials and, of course, a fine feel for kite and board are also required.

Whether on a physical or mental level – yoga is the perfect way to prepare your body and mind for kitesurfing and, above all, to regenerate and relax after a session on the water.

2 dates in the 2025 season

In the coming season we will offer you 2 kite & yoga camps. A long weekend in June and a whole week in July.

The 4-day Kite & Yoga Camp will take place from June 19 – 22, 2025 (Corpus Christi)

The 5-day Kite & Yoga Camp takes place from July 28 – August 1, 2025

Both dates can also be booked as Yoga Only Camps. In the Yoga Only Camp you will take part in all yoga units, all kitesurf units are omitted. To book the Yoga Only Camp, simply select the Yoga Only Camp on the booking page.

19. – 22.6.2025

Our 4-day kite & yoga camp welcomes beginners and advanced riders in both disciplines.
During the 4 days, the focus of the daily yoga classes is on training and regenerating the areas of the body that are stressed during kitesurfing.
We also offer a workshop on „Breathwork – our breathing“.
Weather permitting, which we of course expect, a SUP yoga session is planned and of course included in the price.

The kitesurfing courses take place in groups of a maximum of 4 participants, adapted to the respective level, and focus on your optimal progress.
Advanced kiters can book our Kite & Yoga Camp for advanced kiters. Instead of the kitesurfing course, this camp includes 2 additional days of supervised kiting including equipment rental.

Here you can find more about yoga, about us and the combination of kitesurfing and yoga.

What is Yoga?

Yoga means the path to unity. It is originally the way to come to oneself in meditation. Breathing techniques and postures (asanas) are tools for meditation.

Today, body-oriented yoga is in the foreground and picks us head people up where we are.

Yoga today knows a wealth of styles. Some are physically very active and demanding, others focus on very correct execution of the poses, some want to get the energy flow in the body or the focus is on long poses with many relaxation phases.

Caro offers you mainly Hatha Yoga.

Hatha yoga focuses on a more or less fixed sequence of postures that are held for slightly longer and are separated by short relaxation or mindfulness phases. It trains you excellently to relax in challenging asanas. Special emphasis is placed on breathing exercises at the beginning and a longer relaxation phase at the end of the session. Caro also incorporates flowing elements and often gives the lessons a theme, so that every lesson becomes something special.

How do the yoga units work?

The breathing exercises at the beginning of each yoga class aim to forget everyday life, to calm down and to fill body and mind with new energy. This is followed by the sun salutation, a series of holdings consisting of several coordinated asanas that are performed dynamically in rhythm with the breath. The sun salutation stimulates the cardiovascular system, mobilizes the joints and warms up the muscles. Other asanas follow, such as the Warrior, which strengthens the leg, shoulder and back muscles and promotes balance. Each asana addresses different muscle groups so that the entire body is trained. We pay particular attention to the muscle groups that are particularly stressed during kitesurfing (e.g. core stability, for more on that read below). The class ends with deep relaxation exercises that will leave you feeling rested, clear and fresh.

In the morning and afternoon, the focus of the yoga sessions will vary. So in the morning we will have a shorter activating session to get us fit for the day on the kite. In the evening we will focus on strengthening, stretching, relaxation and centering.

Yoga and kitesurfing - what a great combination!

When kitesurfing you will need good core stability. Because your body acts like a mast on the board. You stand in the loops on the board and the kite is connected to your body via the lines, bar and harness. The better your core stability is, the easier it will be for you to counteract the forces pulling on you. New movement sequences can be learned better from a strong center, because you can concentrate on coordinating the new movement patterns without any strength problems, regardless of whether you are just learning kitesurfing or you want to learn new tricks as an experienced kitesurfer!

At the same time, you will need good flexibility in your spine. When jumping, you can easily observe how the legs go backwards and the back bends back (hollow back). But a certain flexibility in the spine is also an advantage in order to be able to cope with falls into the water in a healthy manner. On the mat we train the strength of the back muscles and increase the flexibility in the back bend, but always in combination with active abdominal muscles and thus prepare the back for the stresses on the water.

And then of course there are the legs, knees and ankles. They are also well used and benefit from an extra portion of strength. As the edge of your board cuts through the water, your thighs will quickly get warm, they’re working! However, strength exercises on the mat for the thighs have another advantage: they strengthen the knee joint at the same time. And the knee joint is subjected to extra stress as you glide beautifully across the water. Your feet are firmly in the loops and the kite pulls on your torso, knees and ankles are the most sensitive areas here. On the mat, we specifically strengthen and mobilize knee and ankle joints, which reduces the risk of injury to these joints.

Last but not least, special attention is paid to the neck in the yoga units. Especially beginners often look up at the kite. Exercises that gently expand the neck muscles and counteract tension create a wonderful balance here.

Speaking of relaxed...

The postures in yoga are not only activating, strengthening and stretching for the body. The passive, the relaxation, also plays a major role. Being able to relax is a skill. Anyone who masters the alternation of tension and relaxation effortlessly and multiple times a day will keep their energy level pleasantly high throughout the day. Especially in Hatha Yoga we practice this specifically on the mat. After prolonged asanas (postures), there is time to consciously relax briefly in shavasana (relaxation posture). But even during a challenging asana, we consciously let go of the muscles and body regions that are not needed for the posture. And at the end of a yoga session, you can really relax longer and more deeply. How wonderful such a full and deep relaxation after kiting! Because that’s exactly when your body’s own regeneration mechanisms pick up speed, so that you start the next day with new physical and mental strength!

Yoga prepares the body optimally for the challenges on the water and helps with rapid regeneration after kiting!

And the spirit? ...

Yoga and kite surfing have even more gifts in store for us. After a session on the mat, a feeling of well-being, joy and mental calm can arise. And after kiting, especially when you’ve managed the first few meters on the board or mastered a new trick, you can’t get rid of the smile on your face!

And this is your yoga teacher:

Caro

Caro is a sports scientist, likes being on the water with a kite, loves life on the beach and with her family. She works in occupational health management and is responsible for yoga at the kite school.
She came into contact with yoga in 2010 on a long trip, including to India, where she spent several months in ashrams. This is where her enthusiasm for yoga and meditation was born. She completed a two-year holistic Hatha yoga teacher training in Rotterdam in 20/21.
Her yoga classes focus on clear awareness and concentration in the asanas, which allows them to be held a little longer. Breathing and relaxation also play a big role,

Caro will be supported by another yoga teacher for a few sessions. We will announce who this will be later on this page.
