This month-long celebration offers an inspiring mix of activities designed to rejuvenate the mind, body, and soul, ensuring a positive start to the year.

The programme highlights the transformative power of surfing and wellness, offering yoga, sound meditation, running sessions in partnership with Good Time
Running Club, and engaging workshops. Among the standout events is an exclusive talk by Dr Jamie Marshall, Lost Shore’s Social and Health Innovation Lead and the world’s first PhD graduate in Surf Therapy from Edinburgh Napier University.
Dr Marshall will explore the profound connection between surf therapy and holistic wellbeing, presenting groundbreaking insights.

Surfing is renowned for its extraordinary benefits to both physical and mental health. Physically, it delivers a comprehensive workout that improves balance, coordination, core strength, and muscle tone. Mentally, the rhythmic connection with water helps reduce stress, enhance focus, and boost overall happiness. Surf therapy, in particular, offers a unique pathway to improved mental health, allowing participants to reconnect with nature and themselves.

Lauren Hyder, Head of Events and Sales at Lost Shore, said: "At Lost Shore, our focus on wellbeing reflects a growing desire for more meaningful, experiential hospitality. It’s about creating opportunities for reconnection—whether with yourself, with nature, or with others.

"Surfing, in particular, delivers incredible physical and mental benefits, and our carefully curated programme of workshops, yoga sessions, and inclusive runs is designed to leave everyone feeling refreshed and revitalised. We’re proud to offer a space where wellness and enjoyment go hand in hand, inspiring positive and lasting change.”
