YOGA AT THE ISLAND
Cross to the Island as the tide comes in and join me – stranded at St. Mary’s Island off the coast near Whitley Bay.
A warm welcome awaits – our location is a cosy space overlooking the horizon where we will spend time nurturing and relaxing our bodies with gentle Dru Yoga and some deep relaxation.
A break for tea will allow you time to explore this lovely area of outstanding beauty and view the wildlife at your leisure: or find a peaceful spot and meditate with the horizon in your view – endless possibilities! Take a little time to climb to the top of the lighthouse for a birds eye view of out stunning coastline. The choice is yours.
As the high spring tide recedes we go outside to watch the waters part from the causeway – relaxed and ready to face our busy lives once more.
This liberating and relaxing experience is suitable for both beginners to yoga and those seeking some peace in their lives.
