Daily yoga on the beach at Vancouver's most beautiful location - Wreck Beach. Join Shannon for a relaxing and energizing Hatha Yoga class, clothing optional, beginner to intermediate.
Hatha Yoga classes every day except on heavy rain days at 10:30am, 12:00pm, and 3:00pm. See schedule at the beach for any additions / changes.
We are located at beautiful Wreck Beach, Vancouver. To get here, walk, jog, bicycle, or take the bus to UBC, then head west to "Trail #6" at the northwest corner of University Blvd and NW Marine drive. For those driving there is parking available in several lots, as well as on the street if you can find a spot.
Once your at the bottom of the stairs at Trail #6, walk left and you'll find the Pacific Bliss stand at the end of the beach, by the rose bush. Schedules, classes, and information are available at the Pacific Bliss Massage & Cafe table, right next to the rose bush. Yoga classes take place either to the rear of the cafe and rose bush, or at the shore line, depending on the tide.
Since we are practicing yoga outdoors in the elements, it is important you wear clothing appropriate for both yoga, and the weather. It being a clothing optional beach, should you be warm enough and choose to do so, you can forgo clothing altogether. A limited number of mats will be available for rent for a nominal fee, but we recommend you bring your own mat, one that you don't mind getting a little sandy and possibly even mucky from the shore.
Please be aware that our focus is comfortably doing Yoga in a natural setting, not nudity and definitely not sexuality. Absolutely no staring, rude / inappropriate comments will be tolerated. Our yoga space, and wreck beach in general are about body acceptance and respect. Staring, immature comments, etc, are not part of the culture. Anybody violating these basic principals will be removed from the class immediately. For more on wreck beach etiquette see the official Wreck Beach Preservation Society website (link below).
Sliding scale; we ask for a donation of $10 - $20. If that is unaffordable, pay what you can.
