Restorative Yoga for Menstruation

Nikki Belcher is the main yoga teacher for the Surf With Amigas retreats in Nicaragua. If you’ve been on a retreat with Nikki, chances are you’ve fallen in love with her unique yoga style. Below is a quick class that all women can appreciate.

 

This 30 minute practice is for women during any time of their cycle. A gentle and restorative sequence, this class will induce relaxation, ease discomfort and leave you feeling blissful and connected to your innate wisdom.

Kickball with the Local Girls

Screen Shot 2016-03-06 at 9.04.18 AMSince the beginning of Surf With Amigas history, we have been committed to a community involvement aspect of the retreats. About a year ago, we heard that the Nicaraguan government started a kickball league for women country-wide and the local girls hopped on the chance to get involved in athletics. In the past, women never had such opportunity to play any sport on a team, let alone in a country-wide league.

After a couple games, we were totally hooked, as the games were super fun, often times bringing on flashbacks to middle school kickball (or “soccer baseball”) matches. Lately, we have been playing against them every week that we have retreats. The girls have improved immensely and regularly squash any dreams we have of winning a game against them.11006442_962234237143237_8047925897231896106_n

We are so stoked to support women empowerment through playing sports and love the interaction that happens when ladies on retreats play sports with local girls. The local team, the “Mariposas Sociales” (translation: the Social Butterflies) is now sponsored by Surf With Amigas and recently went to their inauguration game as an official team- with uniforms and all.12790865_1681262738821673_7048946092478882243_n

Come join us for a northern Nicaragua retreat for an opportunity to get involved in the kickball action!
