📍 LOCATION UPDATE: Back at Calhoun Drive Access #16! If the access is closed or blocked by equipment, meet us two beach accesses north at Hawes Avenue.
🌊 GENTLE BEACH YOGA — Slow Flow by the Sea 🧘♀️
Come spend your Friday morning moving, stretching and breathing by the ocean.
This class is a return to a more traditional gentle yoga practice, with an easy, unhurried flow from one movement to the next. We’ll stretch, breathe, work gently with balance and strength, and leave plenty of room to simply slow down and enjoy the practice.
No fast-paced flow. No complicated poses. Just comfortable, mindful movement with the sand beneath your feet and the sound of the ocean around you. 🌊
Perfect for beginners, those returning to yoga, or anyone who prefers a slower, gentler practice. All levels are welcome.

MY PHYLOSOPHY
I believe healing begins when we slow down.
The rhythm of the waves, the warmth of the sunrise, the support of the sand beneath your feet, and a few intentional moments of stillness can remind us that peace has been within us all along.
My goal isn't simply to teach poses.
My hope is that you leave every gathering feeling more grounded, more hopeful, and more connected than when you arrived.
