We will meet at Tide Mills car park (in between Newhaven and Seaford, you will receive exact directions upon booking) roughly 10 minutes before the start time and then wander over to the spot together.

We have a spot of flat ground for the yoga just back from the pebbly beach, where we will be more comfortable and balanced.

Focus will lie on stretching out the large muscles and getting the circulation going in the body to prepare us for the following swim. The pace of the class will wary slightly depending on the weather. If it is cold and cloudy we will focus on warming up and energising a bit more, but with plenty of options to accommodate all levels and abilities. Whilst if its hot and sunny we may slow it down and soak up the rays to not overheat.

We move through a series of stretches and poses, feeling our bodies awaken and our breath deepen. Our movements will be slow and intentional, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the present moment and nature.

After our yoga practice, there is the option to take a dip in the sea, the cool, salty water washing away any remaining tension or stress. Feeling invigorated by the energy of the sea, it is impossible to not be present, noticing the body coming alive with sensations when being submerged in cold water.

These yoga classes at Tide Mills beach is a wonderful way to connect with nature, rejuvenate your body and mind, and start your day with a sense of calm and gratitude.

Vinyasa Flow Yoga is a dynamic and physically more challenging style of yoga that emphasises on fluid movement and breath control. In a typical Vinyasa Flow class, we will move through a sequence of movements in a continuous, flowing way, synchronised to the breath.

The word "vinyasa" comes from the Sanskrit term nyasa, meaning "to place," and the prefix vi, meaning "in a special way." Vinyasa Flows then emphasises on the connection between breath and movement, with each inhale or exhale initiating a particular movement or sequence of movements, to place the body in a specific way with each breath.

Each class will be different and the focus can lie on different body parts, such as hips or shoulders, or a particular movement, like circles or backbends. The focus can also be to keep a mindset of fluidity or stability. But in each class we will move through a variety of poses, including sun salutations, standing and balancing poses aiming to get the whole body involved and energised.

Moving faster and having to work a little bit harder with the body can both be really fun and a great way to calm the mind down. Vinyasa yoga can offer a great respite or act as a balancing tonic if we are living a life where there is a lot of focus on thinking and less on physical movement.
