Classes

Four classes. Twelve mats. Taught to whoever is in the room.

Mornings and Sundays

Slow flow

Long holds, careful transitions, a lot of breath. Where every first-timer starts and where most people keep coming back.

60 minall levels
Mornings and evenings

Vinyasa

Movement linked to breath and built up over the hour. Warm by the end. Some experience helps, none is required.

60 minmoving
Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday evenings

Yin with sound

Floor shapes held for minutes at a time, in the shala with the louvers open, with bowls played through the last twenty.

75 minquiet

The sunrise class runs on the deck every morning at seven, eight on weekends. It is a slow flow with the light coming up over the water, and it is the one to book ahead.

Swipe sideways on a phone. Sunrise is capped at twelve, so text ahead for that one; everything else takes walk-ins until the mats run out.

The space

A deck, a shala, and the shade between them.

The deck
Covered, teak, twelve mats wide, under the canopy on the hill above the cove. The morning classes and most of the evenings happen here.
The shala
One room with green plaster walls and a wall of louvers that opens onto the garden. Yin, sound and anything the rain moves inside.
The garden
Ferns, a stone basin, a bench. Arrive ten minutes early and sit in it; that is what it is for.

Teachers

Two teachers, one small room.

Marisol Founder · Slow flow, yin and sound

Opened the studio on the deck of the house she grew up in. Teaches the slow classes and plays the bowls. Her instruction is quiet and specific, and she will adjust a shape to your body rather than the other way round.

Tomás Vinyasa and sunrise

Teaches the moving classes and most of the sunrises. Counts breath out loud, keeps the sequence the same for a month at a time so you can feel yourself change inside it, and surfs after.

Your first visit

Four steps from the road to the mat.

1

Pick a class

Slow flow if you are new or tired. Vinyasa if you want to move. Yin if you want to lie down in the dark and listen.

2

Text us

Only the sunrise class needs a reservation. For everything else a text means we know your name when you walk up the steps.

3

Come up the path

Park on the road, follow the stone path through the ferns, leave your shoes at the deck. Mats and props are ours.

4

Stay a minute

Nobody leaves fast. There is water, a bench in the garden and, most mornings, coffee.

In their words

What people say after.

I came for one sunrise class on holiday and rearranged the rest of the week around it.
Ana
Twelve mats means the teacher actually sees you. I have never been corrected so gently.
Devin
The yin class with the bowls is the only hour of my week where I am not thinking about anything.

Questions

Before you come up the path.

Do I need to book ahead?

For the sunrise class, yes, since the deck holds twelve mats. Every other class takes walk-ins until it is full. Call or text and we will hold you a spot.

I have never done yoga. Which class?

Slow flow. It is taught to the room, so a first-timer and someone with ten years of practice can share the same class. Say hello to the teacher when you arrive and tell them it is your first.

Do you have mats?

Yes. Mats, blocks, straps and blankets are in the shala and included in every class. Bring water and something warm for yin.

What happens when it rains?

The deck is covered, so light rain changes nothing but the sound. In a real storm the class moves into the shala, which holds the same twelve mats.

Can I bring my kids?

Teenagers are welcome in any class with a parent. For younger children, ask about the family practice we run on the first Sunday of the month.
