YOGA AT SOUTH SANDS

South Sands is offering complimentary yoga sessions to help you relax and de-stress during your time away with us.

During summer we offer yoga on the beach (weather dependent!) and during winter we use one of our 5 spacious beachsuites located on site.

Sessions are 45 minute classes, but places will be limited particularly in winter as we ensure that sessions are safe and secure with plenty of space. Mats and blankets are provided when classes are inside and you are welcome to borrow a beach towel from the hotel for the summer beach classes. You are more than welcome to bring any of your own equipment with you.

The style of yoga is a combination of Hatha and Vinyasa Flow. All classes are 100% accessible for everyone. We have a key focus on relaxation and self care, providing your body with some easy movement with a goal to finding space and finding what feels good. These classes are not designed to make your body do things it just doesn’t want to do.

Our in house yoga instructor is our General Manager Freya. Freya has trained under the FryOG hatha programme with supplement courses focusing on gravity yoga (focus on flexibility and long holds, deep breathing) and anatomy and physiology.

Freya’s aim is for “everyone to feel like it is enjoyable yet relaxing, a challenge is good of course but there are too many people who think they can’t go to yoga because they are not flexible enough. I don’t want to put my body into weird shapes, I love all sports that make me stiff, so yoga is a way to compliment these sports and to find relaxation with a wider range of motion (motion is lotion so they say). I have never been able to stand with straight legs and my hands flat on the floor, and I never plan to be able to. I can’t put my head on the floor for a seated forward fold, and I never will be able to. I just hope more people realise this is absolutely OK!”

1-1 and Private Sessions are available for a charge, please email to arrange or ask at reception on arrival if there are any last minute spaces.

Please keep an eye on our website and social media for future class dates.

*Offer only applies to guests staying at South Sands, classes are £6 to non residents, booking advisable.
