Founded in 2008, Beach Yoga SoCal stands as Southern California’s original beach yoga experience, offering practitioners the opportunity to connect with nature while deepening their yoga practice. Located on Santa Monica Beach, this award-winning service has transformed the traditional studio experience into something truly extraordinary.
A Natural Sanctuary for Yoga
Beach Yoga SoCal classes take place directly on the sand, just steps from the ocean’s edge. Students practice to the rhythmic soundtrack of crashing waves, feeling the sand between their toes while breathing in the salty ocean air. This natural setting enhances the mindfulness aspect of yoga, creating a multi-sensory experience that indoor studios simply cannot replicate.
Accessible for All Levels
Classes accommodate practitioners of all experience levels, from complete beginners to advanced yogis. Instructors offer modifications for every pose, ensuring everyone can participate comfortably and safely. The supportive, non-judgmental atmosphere makes it an ideal environment for those new to yoga or returning after a break.
Beyond Basic Yoga
Beach Yoga SoCal offers diverse experiences beyond traditional yoga classes. From silent disco yoga with headphones to sound bath sessions at sunset, the program continually innovates to create memorable experiences. Special events include full moon yoga sessions and unique workshops that combine yoga with other wellness practices.
Expert Instruction in a Stunning Setting
Led by owner and lead instructor Vee Gomez, Beach Yoga SoCal’s team comprises certified, experienced teachers who bring warmth and expertise to every class. Their approach balances technical instruction with playfulness, often incorporating the natural environment into the practice—such as performing tree pose at the water’s edge or flowing with the rhythm of the waves.
The magic of practicing downward dog as dolphins leap from the ocean, balancing in tree pose with toes in the sand, or meditating to a spectacular Santa Monica sunset awaits all who unroll their mats at Beach Yoga SoCal.
