San Diego’s tropical retreat, Paradise Point Resort & Spa, offers an invigorating way to start your day with its Island Yoga class. Held on the Paradise Terrace, this hour-long session invites guests into a rare blend of Basic and Power Vinyasa yoga led by Ishmael Sonico, a seasoned instructor with over two decades of practice. The setting is unique within the region’s vibrant outdoor recreation scene — a spacious waterfront enclave where gentle ocean breezes and fragrant coastal flora create an atmosphere of calm and focus.
Paradise Point itself is a 44-acre private island resort located on Mission Bay, a hub known for its sandy beaches, aquatic wildlife, and a network of walking and biking paths along shimmering waters. Here, Island Yoga isn’t just a workout; it’s a holistic reset amid a landscape characterized by eucalyptus and palm-lined pathways and views across the bay to San Diego’s skyline.
Ishmael’s teaching draws on his 200+ hours of teacher training and a philosophy that emphasizes breath control (prana), focus (dharana), and contentment (santosha). His classes accommodate all skill levels, making it accessible for beginners seeking to build flexibility and strength as well as more experienced yogis wanting a dynamic flow.
The class takes place Fridays and Saturdays at 10 a.m., open complimentary to resort guests and available for a modest fee to locals. Participants can expect to find balance—not just physically but mentally—as the peaceful serenity of the waterscape encourages presence and mindfulness.
Offering a distinctive fusion of outdoor fitness and wellness, Island Yoga stands out as a specialized experience within San Diego’s active lifestyle offerings.
