Cape May Beach Yoga with Kelsy Open Group Class

Join Kelsy and others in this memorable group beach yoga class out by the ocean in beautiful Cape May, NJ. Enjoy the ease of coming to class whether walking, biking or driving to the beach because there is plenty of free bike and car parking (no meters down here - BONUS!). Walk out onto the beach at Pittsburgh Ave - beach entrance #4 - and I or one of my co-hosts will be there near the ocean. Bring a towel/blanket to use for the second half of class. We'll start the first half of class standing with our feet right in the sand. Getting to move and deepen our feet and toes in the sand helps us to feel grounded and stable. Then for the second half of class, we'll lower down and use our towels like mats but in a way so that we keep our feet off and our towels and ourselves from getting sandy. I love the sand, but don't want to be covered in it lol. You're encouraged throughout the class to do what feels good for you - whether you want to take more rests or go more advanced feel free to do so. This class is all about enjoying the beautiful location - on the sand with the ocean in front of us, the sky above us and the earth right below us. It's a time to slow down and listen to our bodies while we quiet our minds and let our hearts soar. I hope you join us!
