You step onto the sand before the town wakes: the Atlantic breathes cool, and the limestone cliffs to your right catch first light like pale armor. The instructor’s voice threads with the hiss of waves as the class moves through breath, gentle sun salutations and core-building poses on Batata Beach — compact, sheltered and framed by the old fort at Ponta da Bandeira.
