Reminiscing one of the best trips of my life. Last night @kenfrancisphotos dropped a collection of amazing pictures that made me relive happier times. With no social media or connection to the real world, I got to connect with 26 strangers for a whole week while doing island hopping in the middle of the Philippines. I miss these people who became family, waking up right next to the ocean, the bucket showers ( or no showers), jungle juice, not wearing clothes ever, braiding everyone’s hair, handstand and twerking workshops, sandy workouts, speedos, pirates suits, crying in the middle of the day, sunset yoga, swimming to night camp....and The list goes on and on. Instagram only allows 10 pics per post, it was really tough to choose (so you can definitely expect a PartII). #SYBpalawan #SurfYogaBeer 📸: @kenfrancisphotos ✈️: @surfyogabeer

Thank you, @surfyogabeer, for affording me the opportunity to experience the most memorable and re-energizing adventure of my life. Although only spending 1 week together, I felt like I’ve known this group of amazing people forever, and the bonds we made will last for years to come. While 2017 was my favorite year to date, I know that bringing these positive vibes into 2018 will make this year even better... in the words of @johnnyswim, “I don’t know what’s coming, but I know it’s gunna be good!” 🌊🤙🏽 🇳🇮

✨if only this smiling girl had known how much this trip would change her life✨ • I was crying at my desk by 9:07 my first morning back in the office after returning from Costa Rica with @surfyogabeer. It was in that moment that I knew I had to start making some changes to the way I was living my life. • Three years later (how has it been that long?!) and not a day goes by that I don’t think about how instrumental this trip was in guiding me to where I am today. I feel so blessed to have even afforded the opportunity to travel to a new place with a bunch of strangers, but I feel even more blessed that I am still reaping the benefits a few years later. • Booking this trip was the *best* drunk decision I’ve ever made. Shoutout to @saludnyc for the peer pressure! • And in the wise words of @mantaszvinas, “don’t think, just do.”

✨ These people 💗💗💗 I’ve thought about going on a fitness or yoga retreat for maybe 5 years now 👉🏻I never signed up because I was always nervous to go alone not knowing anyone. . I finally signed up for my first @surfyogabeer trip this summer thanks to @whatleahloves 😘 Without her I probably never would’ve said yes to going to Portugal with a group of strangers. . For this recent trip to Nicaragua I signed up kind of on a whim knowing no one 🤷‍♀️ i knew I wanted to go somewhere warm. I knew I needed something to look forward after a shitty few months. . I told myself if I didn’t make friends I’d still get to sit on the beach all week reading — which isn’t half bad 😂 . Instead I ended up bonding with this incredible group of diverse, loving, ridiculous and insanely loud humans. . If you’re thinking of signing up for a fitness or yoga retreat alone DO. IT. Trust me 😜 You’ll meet some truly amazing people. . Photo credit 📷: @martin.straschnoy. .

Do you have pictures that transport you back to a specific moment or memory and just bring a smile to your face? Here’s one of mine. I went to Croatia with a fitness travel group called @surfyogabeer. 🇭🇷 It was a blast and the perfect combo of fun, fitness, and sightseeing. We kicked off the trip with a workout and beat any potential jet lag right off the bat. I really liked the accountability of the trip and how it incorporated movement every single day (sometimes even twice). One of our last days was “boat day.” And if you take one thing from this instagram let it be this - spending a day on a boat cruising around Croatia should be high on your bucket list! The day ended with a gorgeous sunset, which I still think about to this day. 🌅 I usually travel solo or with friends, but I really liked my experience with SYB. I hope to do another tour with them in 2021. Have you ever traveled or considered traveling with a group tour? I started this post off with a question about pictures that transport you back to a memory or destination. I take thousands of photos with my iPhone, but not all photos are created equal. I have specific photos that bring the absolute biggest smile to my face. Instead of focusing on one destination in a few posts I’m going to be posting some of my absolute favorite photos.

Just wrapped up a bloody amazing trip with a group of beautiful people. I decided to go on this trip just days before it started. What a fantastic decision that ended up being. Thank you @surfyogabeer for creating such an amazing experience and big shout out to our fresh leaders: @danidellarco @lisa_ryan @radlopz @martin.straschnoy This was one for the books: The new friendships, the brekky beer club, workouts every morning on the beach, the yoga up in the sky at sunset, the dancing every night by the infinity pool/dinner table/the bar, the inside jokes, the cowboy hats, the clothes disappearing after skinny dips, not being able to find our own villas, the hikes, my pet tarantula Henry, the countless tequila shots, the deep conversations, the not so deep conversations about bleaching 🍑, the sexual hip thrust dancing, the many wenches I employed (beer, liqiour, etc), the angry yoga mama, the footage I should not have filmed but did anyways, boat day!, always being an 8 drunk, Tona virus vs. Hot Nuts, Orlando and his side hustles, tortuga frat house, SundayFunday, and making love to the beat. Love you all and can’t wait for our reunions. ❤️

Last week I embarked on a bday trip to Nicaragua thanks to my brotha @iam_kevincruz and I thought it was just going to be another crazy and insane trip and man was I wrong! Of course it was insanely fun, but it was also soo much more than that! It was by far the most amazing trip I’ve ever been on and it was all due to the group we had the fortune of being on this trip with! I want to thank @surfyogabeer @danidellarco @lisa_ryan @radlopz @martin.straschnoy for leading this trip and making it what it was. I also want to give a gigantic shout-out to the most amazing group of people I’ve ever met! I didn’t think that in just 6 days I could become so close and get to know so many people on a personal basis and be so comfortable around them! There’s so much more I can write but I’ll leave it at that and just an overall thankful for the last week 🙏🙌🎉🤙!!

Coming off a week of nonstop adventure on the enchanted island of Iceland - the land of Vikings, volcanoes, geysers, hot springs, waterfalls, glaciers...and hot dogs. Feeling very inspired and thankful for friendships strengthened and new friends made. Let’s keep it going squad!

✨Friends are people who know you really well, and like you anyway!👊🏻 No one can be YOU better than you, and I find that EVERY time I go on a trip with Surf Yoga Beer, I find a new layer of myself I didn’t realize I had before💡 #themoreyouknow -Shoutout to the SYB Miami squad (party of 26) for creating an unforgettable weekend! The question is- where we goin next?! 🤔

Audrey

Nicaragua, 2019 @audreyjennifer

I wish I could take the feelings of what I experienced on this trip and share those with all of you... not the photos, not the descriptive words, but the feelings of genuine love, laughter, adventure, fulfillment, peace, excitement, inspiration, health, joy, connection, and gratitude... overwhelming gratitude. 🙌🏼💜 . The people who made @surfyogabeer what it is- @mantaszvinas the leader🕺🏻, @signatureworkouts the heart💃🏻, @julianat.jpg the soul🧘🏻‍♀️, Mel & Eddie the way to the heart (feeding us deliciousness!)🧑🏽‍🍳👩🏼‍🍳, and Martin the world’s best memory-capturer 📸... you’re all so incredible for everything you do. Thank you for this. . And to the people who made this experience so much more than just getting up way earlier than has ever been comfortable for me (but oddly loving it? 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️😂), working out (okay or skipping the workouts 🙈🤣), practicing yoga in paradise, trying not to kill everyone on a surfboard, eating the world’s most delicious tacos that took 5 years to make but were totally worth the wait every time, and drinking local beer with zero hangovers because #GroundingAllDay🧘🏻‍♀️... our SYB fam will always have a special place in my heart. You all are such kind, genuine, authentically loving humans and simply knowing that people like you exist in the world inspires me SO much. But damn, getting to know and connect with you all personally? Ugh that fills my heart to the max! 🥰 . Here’s to the best year yet, starting off in the best way possible. Thank you Surf Yoga Beer fam!! 🥰

Ibiza, 2019 @michaelaonthemove

Wish I was here is a really loaded thought. Wish I was at the top of a mountain in Ibiza? Wish I was hanging out with my @surfyogabeer fam on one of the most epic adventures of my life? Wish I was having a mediation session with @katiebhappyy as the sea air blows on me? The answer to all of this is...yes. Making a wish is only the tip of the iceberg. Take that wish and start unpacking it to get to what you truly want. 📸: @rasikhsyed

Some ships are wooden ships, and those may sink. Some ships are friendships, and to those, we drink. 8 sweaty, hot, crazy, adventure-packed days spent with this awesome crew of driven, successful and passionate people was an incredible experience and felt like 5 years. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to say farewell to a year filled with some highs and some very bitter lows. You don’t really know what you have until it’s gone and it’s now that I fully appreciate how the trip impacted me and how amazing each person was. Thanks @mantaszvinas for telling me the black sweater I wanted to order was out of stock and got me started on this wild journey. Thanks @angelo_grinceri @dalemoss13 @nicolasdealejo @saludnyc @samirpoonawala For being awesome SYB leaders. Thanks @erikvphoto for being a badass photographer. The wise 21st century philosopher @brookelyn1982 once said...”may your joys be pure joys and your pain champagne”. Bring on 2019.

Iceland was more than just trail running and beautiful sites. It was about a group of people who came together and became good friends over the course of five days. We laughed a LOT, ran a hell of a lot of hills and then recovered in thermal pools, had dance parties every day and bonded over shared meals. Went in with no expectations and came out feeling so full and grateful!! Thank you @surfyogabeer for creating this magical experience! 🏃‍♀️💫✨🇮🇸

Iceland, 2019 @hollyannemitchell.nyc

How can I begin to describe what pure joy and freedom feels like? In just one week I caught a glimpse of what I want my life to be filled with, who I get to be when everything else is stripped away, and what I want to leave behind when all is said and done. If my life ends sooner than I hope, at least I ran with nothing but the sound of my shoes hitting rocks and the wind in my ears, I caught the giggles and cuddled friends to keep warm, and I danced with abandon under the open sky. And that would be enough. Forever grateful, forever changed by an adventure summed up in 3 words: Hinga. Dinga. Durgen. (Icelandic translation: Surf. Yoga. Beer.) #sybiceland #surfyogabeer

Grazie mile, @surfyogabeer, for allowing me to experience one of the most beautiful places in the world with 12 incredible new friends (and one little stray) who quickly became family. The past week left me with a full belly and an even fuller heart, truly living 'la dolce vita.' Until next time, Italia. Ti amo 🇮🇹❤️ #sybamalfi #bakersdozen #despacito

I don't even know where to begin... #SurfYogaBeer you truly make your clients and your staff feel like they are on top of the world!!! As much as it was work, it was still a full on adventure even for me. Every trip I've been a part of is better then the last. I can't wait to show you and everyone else the amazing time you put together for everyone involved. Grazie! #lavitaèbella #SYBAmalfi

Mexico, 2019 @summer_buns

On the surface, these pictures merely look like a good time. But what you don’t see is that what started out as a timid tiptoe around each other soon gave way to a sense of urgency to dive into one another with what little time we had left. To see each other, and to be seen. Do you know what it feels like to be seen? It feels like you’ve just fallen in love with 30 people at the same time. It feels like being spoken to with only their eyes and letting them pierce your soul. It feels like walking down an aisle of strangers with your eyes closed who are whispering the goodness they see in you in both ears so loudly that all you can do is receive it and know that this is what it feels like to be seen. To all the souls I met this week: who lifted me, filled me, inspired me, engaged me, challenged me, pushed me, made me laugh, brought me joy, held me when I cried. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Your truth, grace, beauty, grit, and raw power is a gift for which I will never have sufficient words. My hope for you is that you don’t act out of fear, scarcity, anxiety, or grasping. Just act because it’s all too precious, delicate, and important not to give our all and our everything. I hope that if you love someone, good fucking god, you say it and say it and say it again. If there is a place, person, dream, or a love calling to your soul – move mountains to get to where you need to be. If you’ve lost yourself along the way, claw your way back to your own beating heart with the last bit of strength in your body. If you have work you need to do in the world, a story you need to tell, or a truth that needs to be spoken. Do it or tell it or speak it like it matters more than anything else. Because right now, I can’t think of anything more holy than this: SHOW UP. Like you never have before. Fuck the protection and old wounds. To hell with saving energy for another day, or letting our doubts or scars win the round. There’s no time for that. To hell with it. Just go out and love, as hard as you can. Be brave. Reach out and hold on tightly to what matters. Do it like you might not ever get a chance again. Because you might not. You have changed me. Forever. ILY

I started this trip with @jillanamichelle two weeks ago. I gave @nikkibeatrice a huge hug in the Lisbon airport when we parted ways earlier today. In the middle of all that, I met these 40 humans that have forever changed my life. I’m headed home tomorrow with a couple of bike wounds, a few more laugh lines, so many stories and a lot less stress. So thankful to the whole @surfyogabeer team, particularly my friend @katiebhappyy...can’t wait to see what kind of adventure I’ll have with you next😘 #SYBPortugal #NeverNotLaughing #LeisurelyBikeRide #Ginja #DaleAfterDark

🏄🏽‍♀️🧘🏽‍♀️🍺my fitness adventure with @surfyogabeer was nothing like i’ve done before, i met some of the most amazing like minded people, and pushed my body beyond what i thought was possible. everyday we were challenged with 3-4 or more workouts. it was just what i needed coming out of finals. overall, my experience with SYB was truly amazing and inspires me to keep moving/fighting to keep pushing myself forward. 📸@skyfie.irias .

I’m going to get a little personal, ok a lot... Making new friends as an adult is HARD. We have our circles and our routines, and even for an extrovert like me, it’s not easy to make connections the way it was when we were younger. I went on #sybportugal hoping to make at least one connection, what I got, was 42; 41 incredible, inspiring, hysterical, loving, genuine individuals, and the girl in my own head who I hadn’t made time for in a while. Here’s to my new tribe, I love you so hard. #castlelife 📸: @martin.straschnoy (Everyone not tagged, I tried but I got capped out 😔)

Sometimes life hands you a gift...sometimes it comes in the form of a person or group of people, it may be having someone truly listen and see you and let you see them, sometimes it’s being surrounded by natural beauty, sometimes it’s seeing yourself through someone else’s eyes. It might be a new experience or adventure that pushes you outside of your comfort zone. It could be a place that makes you realize what’s really important in life. It’s possible it comes in the form of a lot of noise in a club or complete silence amongst the sand dunes. But RARELY does life give you such an enormous gift that it comes in all of these forms at once. I feel blessed, honored, and full hearted. These 35 humans have touched my heart and soul and taught me so much about them and myself. So thank you habibis. ***This message is an expediated version of the optimum level of love and gratitude I can express. #sybmorocco #surfyogabeer #mantasisms

✨ Muchas gracias, #SYBNicaragua 😘🌈🕷🌊💗 I am still processing all my feelz after my second @surfyogabeer trip — and lets be real I’m still delirious after a 12+ hour travel day 🤪 but I did want to say a few things. . I spent this past week barely on social media which is HUGE for me. . I spent the week not giving a crap about likes or the perfect hashtag or trying to beat the Instagram algorithm. . I spent the week not giving a fuck what I looked like which felt truly liberating... even when my hair started to feel like straw 😂 . And maybe most importantly I spent this past week focused on connecting and laughing and being with this amazing group of humans 💗 it’s something that honestly isn’t always easy for me as an introvert who doesn’t really drink 🙅‍♀️ I might’ve spent the first night of the trip having a minor meltdown and google searching nearby hotels to escape to if I’m being 100% honest. . I ended up staying. And I ended up having one of the best vacations and weeks of my life. I can’t remember the last time I laughed that hard or cried that hard or danced that hard. . So thank you again #SYBNicaragua for being the most amazing, loving and fun group of humans 😘 Sorry I turned down all 106 shots you offered me throughout the last week 🥃🤷‍♀️ but some things will never change 😂
