Aviv Kastoriano
Watersport guide
Hi, I'm Aviv. The ocean has been my classroom for over 40 years. I've surfed waves around the world before eventually making Portugal my home. Today, I work as a surf coach, sharing my passion for the ocean and helping people experience Portugal through surfing, adventure, and authentic local experiences. I believe the best trips are about much more than good waves or beautiful places. They're about connecting with nature, meeting great people, slowing down, and creating memories you'll carry with you long after the trip ends. I'm excited to welcome you to the south of Portugal and share an unforgettable SUP retreat filled with beautiful coastlines, great company, and experiences you'll never forget.
Sigal Avital
Movement guide
Hi, I'm Sigal Avital For more than 20 years, I've been helping people move with greater ease, confidence, and freedom through the Feldenkrais Method®. I believe that when we move better, we feel better. My passion is helping people reconnect with their bodies, improve posture, restore balance, prevent injuries, and discover more efficient movement—both in everyday life and in sport. I'm a certified Feldenkrais practitioner, trained in the Jeremy Krauss Approach (JKA) for child development. Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with athletes, dancers, actors, musicians, and artists, as well as teaching Feldenkrais workshops and training movement professionals in Israel and around the world. In recent years, the ocean has become an important part of my life. Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP) inspired me to combine my lifelong experience in movement with paddling, creating a unique approach that integrates body awareness, posture, balance, breathing, and pelvic floor support to improve both performance and enjoyment on the water. During the SUPortugal Retreat, I'll guide you through movement sessions designed to help you paddle with greater ease, improve your stability and flexibility, reduce unnecessary effort, and feel stronger, lighter, and more connected to your body—both on land and on the water.
