When

Pergola takes place on Saturday mornings from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at Tortuga Inn Beach Resort in Bradenton Beach. Classes are held depending on the weather, so if it is rainy, under 65 degrees, or if the pergola is being used for a special event or a wedding, the class will be canceled.

What to Expect & Bring

Depart from your Anna Maria Island rentals as early as possible since you will need to allow time for traffic or walking if you choose to do so. There is limited parking at Tortuga Inn, so you might want to walk, ride your bike, or take the free trolley that runs from Anna Maria in the north to Coquina Beach in the southernmost tip of the island.

The class costs $20 and is paid by cash only. You should also bring your own mat since the select number of mats they have will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Plan Your Visit

Contact us today for more information about all of our pet-friendly rentals, perfect for vacationing with the whole family!

The pergola itself is covered so that you won’t get baked in the direct sunlight, but you still get a stunning glance out at the beach. This is Gentle Flow Yoga, so you will not be moving into extremely challenging poses. The instructors are all highly skilled and friendly, and they will not push you into doing anything you don’t want to do. This yoga is all about letting your mind focus and body relax while taking in the rolling of the waves and calls of the Anna Maria Island water birds nearby. 

Where to Stay

Snag yourself one of these Anna Maria Island vacation rentals soon. They book up fast when it’s ‘in’ season. There are 1- and 2-bedroom cottages available in AMI, and they are some of the most relaxing and enjoyable places you can stay. You get high definition TVs and wireless high-speed Internet, which should make you feel right at home.

Whether you are coming here by yourself, on a romantic getaway with your significant other, or have the entire family in tow, you will find these places to be serene. After your morning yoga session on the beach, come home and refresh with a dip in a private pool or snag the provided beach wagon and chairs and head out for a swim.

This is truly yoga on the beach Anna Maria Island style! Get up bright and early on Saturday and make the trek to Tortuga Inn for Island Yoga Space’s beachfront yoga. Relax your body, calm your mind, and let nature infuse your every breath.
