Morning light slices across El Médano’s shoreline and the Atlantic breathes slow and constant — the tide setting a steady tempo for a 60-minute yoga session on sand. Participants roll out mats where the beach meets the salt-scrub dunes, and the instructor guides breathing to match the ocean’s push and pull; waves become an upright cue, wind a soft challenge to balance.

Arrive Early to Pick Your Spot

Protect Against Strong Sun
Even on breezy days UV exposure is high—use SPF 30+ sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses before and after class.
Bring a Surface Layer
Coastal mornings can be cool; a light fleece or long-sleeve top is useful for the warm-up and final relaxation.
Respect Dunes and Wildlife
Stay on designated access routes and avoid trampling dune vegetation or disturbing nesting shorebirds.
Yoga mat (or towel)
Provides traction and a clean surface on sand; instructors may supply mats but personal mats are more hygienic.
Reusable water bottle
