Who could resist agreeing to do a sponsored post for yoga on the beach! And what a lovely island experience it was! As always, our aim at Island Effect is to be an excellent, trusty guide for you, so all opinions are our own!
Janelle tells us yoga is about taking the time to feel what your body is saying and learn from it, so your yoga practice can give you what you need physically and spiritually. Janelle’s classes are a blend of Hatha (Foundational) with a bit of Vinyasa (Flow).

As a qualified instructor, Janelle adapts poses to accommodate person’s limitations, offering variations that allow all levels of students to take part.
Janelle offers her regular classes at two locations:
Join the Wednesday Beach Yoga for more than just fun in the sun! Become fit and in-tune while you take in the surrounding beauty of the elements. You can expect to leave with a sense of inner peace as the class ends with a spectacular view of the sunset.
Cost: a donation of your choice, monetary or in-kind – even fruit (a currency Janelle loves!)
Monday is Mindful Yoga at Art of Living Centre in Rodney Bay – a session with some theory, breathing and meditative moves alongside restorative yoga. Cost Donation

How to get there:
Beach Yoga:
Lucian Directions: Driving, turn off the La Clery roundabout as though you were going to the airport but keep straight, instead of turning along the runway, as if you were going to Rendezvous Hotel. Park in the open space to the left of the Hotel (Beach Facilities) and continue walking till you pass the little hut facing the beach. Walking, turn right along the beach past Rendezvous Hotel until you cross the mouth of the stream.
