About This Retreat
A day in the retreat
Morning
○Breakfast
The day starts around a shared table. Good food before the sea.
Morning
◇Freediving Theory & Breathwork
Theory, breathing exercises, and preparation for open water. Mind and body ready for depth, then into the sea.
Midday
◎Lunch
For all the hungry ones coming back from the water. Real food, slow table, good conversation.
Midday
□Rest
Unstructured time. Digest, talk, read, write, nap. No program. The body knows what it needs.
Afternoon
△Handstand Practice
Strength, technique, and balance. Focused progressions, a lot of play, and personal feedback.
Evening
◯Dinner
Another proper meal, cooked with care. The kind you actually remember.
Night
◎Free Time
No agenda. Time to connect, sit by the sea, or just be. Whatever feels right.
Who is it for
For the curious and capable. You don't need to be advanced, you need to be ready to try. People come from all levels, from complete beginners to experienced movers. What everyone shares: genuine curiosity and willingness to go deep.
Handstands
Wall handstand for 20 seconds minimum. That's the baseline we build from. More advanced practitioners get taken further.
Freediving
Zero experience required. We start from breath and pool work, build to open water. Everyone gets individual guidance.
Fitness
Generally healthy and active. No specific fitness level. The retreat is progressive: each person works from where they are.
Your guides
Hand Balancer
Yuval Oz
Yuval has spent years at the edge of what a body can balance. His work lives between circus, street performance, and deep movement teaching. He brings precision without rigidity, and play without losing control.
The goal is not just to improve, but to fall in love with the practice.
Freediving Instructor
Gil Fox
Gil knows what it means to go below the surface, literally and metaphorically. A national record holder and certified instructor, he creates a space where depth feels safe. His teaching is calm, methodical, and deeply human.
Freediving isn't just about depth. It's about how softly we meet ourselves.
Participants
“A great way to challenge yourself, with a professional, supportive team that turns the whole experience into non-stop fun.”
גיא
“Yuval, Gil, and the whole team - you're wonderful. Not just professionals, but real teachers. Thank you for the tools you gave me, which didn't just teach me but also let me keep growing, and for the unforgettable experience. We'll meet again!!”
מיכל
“I got back a few days ago. What a joy it was! Excellent organization, wonderful sea, outstanding team. A whole world opened up before me. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart, for everything you do.”
נועה
“I really enjoyed it - it was challenging and sometimes not easy, and it leaves you wanting more. The combination of handstands and freediving is just a winning combo for me. The fact that it's a family business gives it a real feeling of home. The place, the people, the food, the atmosphere - simply perfect. Thank you.”
