Yoga

Yoga is the heartbeat of Bamboo Cottages. Every morning, while the fishing boats are still silhouettes, mats roll out on the sand and the day begins with breath. Classes welcome everyone: the flexible, the stiff, the curious and the convinced.

Morning sessions are flowing and energizing, sun salutations as the sun itself performs them, standing poses with the sea steadying your gaze. Evening sessions soften into yin and long-held stretches, closing with a savasana so complete that guests regularly report having dreamed. Between the two, the body learns what the island already knows: effort and rest are partners, not rivals.

Our teachers rotate through the season, each bringing their own flavor, hatha foundations, vinyasa play, therapeutic sequences for tired backs, but all share the same respect for the beginner and the same suspicion of ego. Adjustments are kind. Comparisons are banned. The sand forgives every wobble.

Mats and props are provided. Classes are included for guests, and neighbors staying nearby are welcome too. Practice once a day and you will feel it by day three. Practice twice and you may extend your stay, most do, and the mats are ready.
