Harmonise body, mind and soul in an oceanic setting...
The traditional art of YOGA has been practiced for 5000 years to relieve stress, expel negative energy, detoxify organs, build inner core strength, improve the nervous system and enhance wisdom, fitness and flexibility.
The series of stretching and 'prana' (breathing) exercises are designed to both challenge and relax, while stimulating focus, balance and positive life force. On a deeper level, yoga is a state of being in which all apparent opposites, distinctions and states are reconciled. From this state of union we live without fragmentation or inner conflict. We are able to embrace our whole being from the surface to the depths, encompassing both our transient limitations and our perennial limitlessness. We honour and live from, by, and within our true nature.
This is the key to a life of peace and contentment.

YOGA BY THE SEA is a Proud Supporter of PROJECT AWARE
Scientists estimate that 6.4 million tonnes of litter enter the world's oceans every year. This not only destroys the beauty of dive sites, it affects 250 species, including 85% of sea turtles and 40% of all mammal species. In response, the dive industry's leading non-profit environmental organisation hosts over 200 underwater clean-ups in the Asia Pacific region (and nearly 1000 worldwide) removing debris harmful to underwater life. By conserving underwater environments through education, advocacy and action, Project AWARE is working towards cleaner oceans and increased aquatic awareness worldwide.
