The studio at Cooks Bay Hotel sits a short walk from the reef, its cool air a deliberate contrast to the island heat—roll out a mat and the sound of distant water seems to press against the glass. Light filters through blinds; the room feels deliberate and quiet, a pause between a morning dive and an afternoon hike up the jagged ridges of Mo'orea.

Arrive Early to Settle In
Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes before class to pick a mat, meet the instructor, and acclimate to the studio’s cooler temperature.
Hydrate Before and After
Mo'orea’s sun dehydrates quickly—drink water before class and keep a refillable bottle handy for after so you recover comfortably.
Notify the Instructor of Injuries
Classes are small—tell the teacher about any recent injuries or pregnancy so poses can be adapted.
Wear Breathable Layers
Light, moisture-wicking clothing works best; bring a thin top to wear after class when stepping back into warm island air.
Reusable Water Bottle
Stay hydrated before and after class—tap water is safe and refill stations may be limited.
Breathable Yoga Clothing
Light, moisture-wicking layers help you stay comfortable in the studio and on the walk to the hotel.
