Yoga on the beach

Peninsula yoga has introduced "Yoga on the Beach" over summer.

"The classes have already begun with a positive response and attendance has been good so far," facilitator Mr John Wilson said.

"The classes are held on the southern end of Umina Beach, near the Berrima Cresent car park (kiddies corner).

"All the yoga postures have been modified to suit beach conditions."

Mr Wilson said the instructor was fully qualified and insured and the program approved by Gosford Council.

"It is a great way to start the day and tune into nature while gently exercising and moving the body with the back drop of beautiful Umina Beach," Mr Wilson said.

"Yoga exercises the body, relaxes the mind and calms the breath."

Mr Wilson said classes were suitable for people of all ages and levels of fitness.

Beach yoga is held every Tuesday and Thursday, starting at 7am.

Each class runs for one hour, cost is $10 per person.

Mr Wilson said more classes will be offered if demand requires.

Participants need to bring a water bottle and a large beach towel.
