During the warm summer months we love to take our workout outside as much as possible, and one of our favorite ways to stay in shape is beach yoga! The health benefits are endless, but what we really love is the unique opportunity to practice yoga while being inspired by the scenic backdrop of our local beaches. If you don’t belong to a local studio, you may not be familiar with all of the terrific opportunities that are available for outdoor yoga sessions, so we’ve rounded them all up for you. Assateague, Ocean City, Bethany, Dewey and Rehoboth all have yoga on the beach classes happening all summer long and for any level of yogi. Namaste!
