Welcome to Bethany Beach Yoga

Originally founded in 2002 in Bethany Beach, Delaware, Bethany Beach Yoga offers Sunrise Beach Yoga and Sunset Beach Yoga classes from spring to fall. We also offer private yoga sessions year-round and specialize in private yoga experiences for all occasions. We bring the yoga to you – beach, home, vacation rental, poolside, yard, porch, patio, deck – and just about anywhere you can lay a yoga mat! All of our teachers bring a unique style of yoga to students. Our instructors are certified through various national and/or international yoga programs and are registered yoga teachers with Yoga Alliance.

Beach Yoga Tips (for soft sand):

Protect Your Wrists. Be mindful of your wrists when doing yoga on soft sand. Be sure to grip or "claw" the sand with your whole hand and/or extend your fingers to get the best support. Stay away from too many poses that are weight-bearing on your hands and wrists.
Mind Your Legs and Feet. Make sure to root down through your legs and feet in standing and balance poses.
Master Your Balance. Practicing on sand brings new awareness of balance and alignment in poses. In fact, the beach is a great place for mastering your balance poses as the shifting sand challenges the muscles in your legs and ankles. To find better grounding on the beach, try "twisting" your feet into the sand to root down. The sand is great for practicing malasana (squats)! While it can be a challenging surface, the soft sand is also the most forgiving when practicing balance poses or inversions.
Slow Your Flow. Slow down sun salutations and other vinyasa flows and move with intention. If you move too fast, you will kick up a lot of sand. Also, be careful in poses when reaching arms and hands above your head while looking up as sand can fall into your eyes.
Stay Hydrated. Beach sand and the beach environment can be dehydrating so it is good practice to bring a bottle of water with you.
Use a Beach Towel as a Yoga Mat. A regular yoga mat will not stay in place plus it is nearly impossible to get all the sand off afterwards. A big beach towel, blanket or sheet works better on soft sand and some students prefer beach sand only (no mat). Plus, a beach towel will come in handy if you choose to take a dip in the ocean after class.
Don't Forget the Shade. Depending on the time of day you are practicing on the beach, you may also want to bring sunscreen and sunglasses.
