OCEAN TIDE YOGA + MEDITATION IS COMING
ALL NAMASKAR YOGA PASSES AND MEMBERSHIPS WILL BE HONOURED AND EXTENDED BY THE NEW OWNER OF OCEAN TIDE YOGA + MEDITATION STUDIO.
Drop-ins are always welcome.
We know that planning ahead isn’t always easy. Come when it works. Decide day-of.
If it’s been a while since you practiced, that’s okay. It happens to all of us. You’re not behind — and there’s nothing to catch up on. We’re always happy to see you.
Classes
In a hot, warm and/or non-heated setting, you can choose from: Hatha, Yin, Vinyasa, Yoga Massage, Myofascial Release (MFR), Sound Bath and much more.
We also offer private 1:1, semi-private and large group sessions, including Accessible & Adaptive Yoga for Limited Mobility and Wheelchair Users.
If you are seeking a deeper intensive, consider Silence by the Sea -- a 1-day Soul Retreat, or build your own weekend escape .

Hatha
This class is designed to help you integrate the principles of mindfulness, breath awareness, and movement into your daily routine. Through a combination of asanas (postures), meditation, and practical tips, you’ll learn how to cultivate balance, reduce stress, and find moments of presence in any situation.
Perfect for all levels, this class encourages personal exploration and emphasizes yoga as a holistic practice that can enrich every aspect of your life—physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Vinyasa
Vinyasa yoga is a dynamic practice that links breath with movement, creating a flowing sequence of poses.
This class builds strength, flexibility, and balance through creative transitions, sun salutations, and mindful movement. Expect an energizing flow followed by a calming cooldown, leaving you refreshed and centered.

Yin
Yin Yoga is a slow, meditative practice that targets the deep connective tissues, joints, and fascia. Postures are held for several minutes, inviting stillness and mindfulness while gently opening the body.
This practice promotes flexibility, circulation, and inner calm, making it a perfect complement to more active styles of yoga and a grounding reset for body and mind.

Strong Slow Flow
This mindful, strength-building class moves at a slower pace to help you build stability, control, and awareness. Inspired by the steady rhythm of Vinyasa yoga, poses are held longer so you can develop strength, refine alignment, and deepen your breath. Expect a thoughtful flow, balance work, and core engagement, followed by grounding stretches and a restful Savasana. Perfect for students who enjoy moving with intention and want to feel both strong and centered.

Outdoor Yoga
Practice in the beauty of the outdoors, surrounded by fresh air, open skies, and the breathtaking natural landscape of the West Coast. This all-levels class offers a balanced blend of movement, breath, and mindfulness to leave you feeling refreshed, grounded, and energized. If weather conditions aren't suitable, class will move indoors so your practice can continue uninterrupted. Please bring a yoga mat, water bottle, sunglasses, and layers to stay comfortable in changing temperatures.

Heated Hips & Hammies
Use the heat to your advantage in this hip-focused class. Combining strength, balance and mobility, this practice invites a holistic approach to hip, hamstring and core health.

Vinyasa & Core
This class blends traditional yoga postures with mindful core activation to help you feel grounded, strong, and centered. Expect flowing sequences, deep stretches, and intentional breathwork, with a few "Pilates-inspired" movements to strengthen the abdominals, back, and glutes. The balance of yoga and core work supports stability, posture, and energy, leaving you open yet steady—both on and off the mat.

Myofascial Release & Yin
Myofascial Release (MFR) is a gentle technique that helps release tightness and tension in the body's fascia. Using massage balls, blocks and long held Yin floor postures, you'll gently unwind tension in your connective tissue. All levels welcome.

Vinyasa & Stretch
Nurture your body, mind, and spirit in this flow class. Move with your breath through dynamic yoga postures that help to build strength and aim to purify your physical body. Unwind and relax as the class moves into deep stretches and eases towards a blissful savasana.

Vin 2 Yin
Begin with a flowing Vinyasa sequence to energize and open the body, then settle into grounding Yin postures for deep release and relaxation. A balanced practice of movement and stillness. A beautiful practice to transition from the busyness of your day to the quiet of your evening.

Gentle Yoga
Relax and reconnect in this calming class. We will start with a guided meditation and breath work to ground you in the present moment. The meditation is followed by an intelligently sequenced gentle yoga practice that aims to encourage gentle strength and flexibility. This class is perfect for all levels and will leave you feeling open and peaceful.
