Start your Saturday with sand between your toes in the Indiana Dunes National Park! Join Sandy Pause Yoga for our fifth summer flowing through yoga poses then floating into rest and relaxation on the shores of beautiful Lake Michigan. We’ll soak up the soothing sounds of the lake’s ebbs and flows as we reconnect with our bodies and our breath at beach yoga. “We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing” (George Bernard Shaw) so come play with us in the sand this summer!
All classes are appropriate for beginner and experienced yoga students alike. If you have any special needs or requests, email sandypauseyoga@gmail.com so we can ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for you!
Saturday morning beach yoga takes place at Central Avenue Beach which is located one mile north of the intersection of Central Avenue and U.S. Highway 12 in the Indiana Dunes National Park. There is a large public parking lot, and all beach-goers need to purchase entry to the Indiana Dunes National Park (see Fees & Passes - Indiana Dunes National Park (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov) for details and to pay your entrance fee or better yet, to secure your annual pass!). We set up near to where you climb down the sand from the parking lot to get to the water’s edge and are easy to find.
Pre-registration is requested by 8:30 a.m. the day of class or just show up on the sand that morning! Walk-ins should be sure to follow Sandy Pause Yoga on facebook/instagram to be informed of any last minute changes due to weather.
