Why Beach & Outdoor Yoga Training?

After years of teaching at Tybee Wellness Retreats, Laurie noticed that many retreat participants who were 200-hour yoga teachers had never practiced on the sand, or even outdoors at all.

Teaching beach and outdoor yoga presents unique challenges. This certification encompasses all outdoor yoga teaching: beach, parks, mobile & pop up classes. 

  • Uneven and shifting terrain
  • Wind, sun, heat, and weather considerations
  • Voice projection and class safety
  • Sequencing and cueing for unstable surfaces
  • Student accessibility and injury prevention
