Friday

After a healthy lunch, it’s time for a Pembrokeshire Coast Path “power walk” along the inspirational coastal trail followed by an enjoyable yoga class with a specialist teacher. You can take things at your own pace and the run or walk can be a longer or shorter distance depending on your own needs, so this is fully flexible.

Sunday

For your morning fitness boost we suggest a dance workshop or another run to the beach. After breakfast we will head off for an exhilarating Surfing adventure at one of our beautiful surfing beaches. A short stretching workshop on the beach beforehand to loosen everyone up and surfing is a fantastic and fun way to enjoy a great full body workout!
