Gwithian Beach Yoga

Gwithian Beach Yoga Cornwall

Gwithian beach yoga started from a pop-up class in May 2018 that brought together a wonderful community of beach yogis. It was such a positive practice connecting to the environment as well as to body and mind, we are continuing into our 6th season!

The regular class times April – October are:

Saturday 9am – 10.15am
Wednesday 6.30pm – 7.45pm

We add extra pop-up classes if the weather is good!

We practice down on the beach on low tide and up in the dunes in a sheltered spot if it’s onshore wind or high tide.

Vinyasa yoga flow
The class is a 75-minute Vinyasa flow practice which is energising and uplifting incorporating opening stretches and strengthening postures with a guided relaxation.

The class is designed for all levels / experience of yoga. I teach a variety of options for beginners up to advanced and I invite people with specific health needs to complete a health inventory form before the class so I can take care of individual needs.

You don’t have to be flexible to join the class, however it will increase flexibility!

Community
We are a friendly and welcoming group with both regulars and newcomers joining each class. We often enjoy a coffee and chat /sea swim or surf after the class

Silent disco events
Last year we hosted 4 Silent disco beach yoga events (yoga to music through headphones) and more dates will be shared soon!
Pre-booking is essential so that I can ensure the class remains safe for all. Bookings can be made in advance through my website. I email information about the class and directions of where to meet following booking.

My beach yoga class is designed for all ages and abilities. I welcome everyone to join in, whether you are new to yoga, on holiday or a local. The class is designed to be inclusive and fun and will enable you to connect to the beautiful surroundings leaving you feeling energised and uplifted. Good for body, mind and spirit and embracing the elements!

On a Saturday morning we typically finish our session with a coffee together on the sand or a swim in the sea. It has been wonderful sharing yoga on the beach with a community of people who value the connection with nature and respect the environment.

Fundraising
Our beach yoga community has raised funds to support charities over the years including Surfers Against Sewage, The Wave Project, Cornwall Air Ambulance, Shelter Box Ukraine crisis appeal and Be More Ben. We have partnered up with Improving Working Lives, our local NHS staff wellbeing initiative which supports Royal Cornwall Healthcare Trust staff members to participate in beach yoga classes to promote staff wellbeing.

Gwithian beach yoga has been an amazing journey since we began in 2018 – I look forward to starting the 6th season 😊

Our first class of 2023 will be on Easter Monday to raise funds for Be More Ben. See you on the sand!
