🌿 Mission

At Ocean Valley Retreats, our mission is to guide you through meaningful, practical experiences that support your growth and help you flow through every stage of life.

Inspired by Yogya (योग्य), a Sanskrit word from the Yoga Sutras meaning adaptability, we believe yoga—and life—is not one-size-fits-all. It’s a deeply personal journey, unique to your body, mind, and circumstances.

Our retreats are designed to help you adapt yoga to your life, using the right tools and techniques to create lasting, embodied change.
This is about more than physical poses—it’s about reconnecting to your true self and living in harmony with yourself, others and the world around you.

🌺 Why Yoga with Us?

When practiced consistently, yoga can offer:

  • 🌱 Optimal health and stress reduction

  • 🌞 A balanced metabolism and strengthened immune system

  • 🧘 Regulated neural-endocrine system

  • ✨ Increased vitality and longevity

Our intention is to nourish your mind, body, and soul, and empower you to move through life with greater ease, resilience, and joy.

🌍 Welcome to the Community

We can’t wait to meet you.
Welcome to Ocean Valley Retreats, where transformation meets travel.

We bring together dreamers, artists, entrepreneurs, creators, travelers, healers, and curious souls—all connected by a shared desire to explore, grow, and elevate their lives.

Led by trusted facilitators, our retreats offer sacred space to:

  • 🌿 Disconnect from the noise of everyday life

  • 🌺 Reconnect with your truth, power, and highest potential

  • 🌊 Experience breathtaking destinations around the world

🌟 What Makes Us Different?

We’ve intentionally crafted an environment where transformation is inevitable—rooted in:

  • Sisterhood & Community

  • Depth & Expansion

  • Embodied Joy & Soulful Connection

You can expect:

  • 💫 Soul-deep connections

  • 🌅 Experiences you’ll carry with you forever

Yoga, Surf and Flow Retreat

Traditional Hatha Yoga and 2 surf Sessions, Portugal

Noah Surf House, Santa Cruz

Led by Nicole Carp

6 - 10th of November, 2025

I’m so thrilled to announce this special Yoga, Surf and Flow retreat, in collaboration with Noah Surf House, located just 45 minutes north of Lisbon.

For the past few years, I have been teaching Hatha Yoga at this unique space that is a mixture of portuguese luxury, boho surf camp and the beach resort you have always dreamed of finding. So excited to finally offer a special retreat in this magical place this upcoming autumn.

Slow down, reconnect and come back home to yourself…

See you soon,

Love Nicole

This Seaside “escape” blends yoga and surfing for a perfect fusion of ocean, air & earth.

You'll enjoy five days of full presence, connection, excitement, adventure and personal growth, all in a stunning natural setting.

Nicole brings you authentic, science-based knowledge of yoga, conscious movement, and holistic living to support your well-being. Yoga helps you build awareness and flexibility, while surfing brings focus, fun, and a deeper connection with the ocean.

Together, these practices create a path to balance and calm attentiveness, helping you reconnect with nature and yourself. Leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and ready to embrace life with a new sense of clarity and purpose.
