Join a welcoming outdoor yoga class on Brighton’s seafront or in nearby parks with a local instructor. You’ll stretch out by the waves, meet friendly faces, and move through a gentle flow that fits all levels — even if you’re new to yoga or just passing through town. It’s those small moments (like salt air and laughter) you’ll remember long after rolling up your mat.
The first thing I noticed was the salty air — not just in my nose, but kind of settling on my skin. We’d met behind the Meeting Point Cafe, right where the pebbles start to crunch under your mat. Our instructor (her name’s Anna, she waved a bright orange flag so we wouldn’t miss her) greeted everyone like she already knew us. There was this mix of locals and travelers, and someone’s dog kept sniffing my water bottle. I didn’t expect to feel so awake at 8am, honestly.
We started slow, oiling out the joints as Anna called it, and I could hear gulls arguing overhead. The yoga flow was beginner-friendly — nobody cared if you wobbled or lost track of left and right. At one point Anna asked us to close our eyes and just listen to the waves rolling in. For a second I forgot about everything else (even the cold breeze sneaking up my sleeves). She checked in with each person quietly, making sure we were comfortable — I liked that.
I tried saying “namaste” at the end but probably butchered it; Anna just grinned and said it back anyway. Packing up my mat, I caught myself smiling for no real reason. It wasn’t perfect — there were clouds threatening rain over Hove Lawns and I got a pebble stuck in my sock — but somehow that made it better. If you’re looking for an outdoor yoga class in Brighton that feels real and not staged, this is it. Still think about that moment when everything went quiet except for the sea.
