Who doesn’t love a rejuvenating and relaxing yoga session? If you love yoga, Anna Maria Island is ripe with opportunities and places for you to practice. In fact, you can do yoga right up there on the beach, just steps away from our Anna Maria Island rentals! Listening as the waves roll in and the wildlife calls out is such an ideal setting for a yoga practitioner, and you are bound to find serenity and strength here on AMI.

Beach Yoga with Island Yoga Space
Ready to try some beach yoga? It is insanely fun and rejuvenating at the same time. Island Yoga Space is located on Gulf Drive in Anna Maria, and they offer a bunch of yoga opportunities, including beach yoga. Pergola, as it is referred to, gives you the benefit of doing yoga outside on a stable surface area.
You can draw the salty sea air in with each breath and let your mind focus on your body.
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 $15 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.

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.
