Happy Seal Yoga

 

Your Coastal Escape for Yoga by the Sea

At Happy Seal Yoga, we believe in the transformative power of nature and movement. Nestled along the breathtaking North Yorkshire coast, we offer a variety of yoga classes designed to refresh your body, mind, and soul. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or just starting your practice, we welcome everyone to experience the joy of yoga in some of the most stunning coastal locations in the UK.

 

Yoga by the Sea – A Unique Experience

 

Imagine the soothing sound of waves, the fresh sea breeze, and the expansive views of the Yorkshire coast as the backdrop for your yoga practice. Our Yoga by the Sea sessions are held in beautiful, peaceful spots along the coastline, including Scarborough, Filey, Cayton Bay Sandsend and Whitby. These outdoor yoga classes provide the perfect blend of tranquility and invigorating energy that only nature can offer.

 

SUP Yoga – Take Your Practice on the Water

 

Looking for something more adventurous? Try SUP Yoga (Stand-Up Paddleboard Yoga), where you can connect with the water and find balance on the serene waters of the North Yorkshire coast. Perfect for all levels, SUP Yoga combines yoga and paddleboarding for a unique and calming experience that strengthens your body and improves your focus.

 

Indoor Yoga – All Year Round

 

We’re not just about outdoor adventures – we also offer indoor yoga classes throughout the year. Whether it’s winter or summer, our indoor sessions are a perfect way to stay grounded, calm, and energized. Our friendly, welcoming community ensures that every class is a fun, supportive experience where you can relax and unwind, no matter the weather.

As well as being a yoga teacher, Happy Seal Yoga  founder and lead teacher Helen is a bit of a thalassophile (lover of the sea) with a wealth of experience in the sea. She has been a qualified beach lifeguard for over 30 years, a lifeguard trainer/assessor for over ten years and is also a SUP instructor, open water swim coach & surf coach.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Louise
Filey
Yoga by the sea class

I cannot recommend Happy Seal Yoga enough! Helen, the instructor, is an amazing teacher, calm and kind -everything a yogi should be! The locations are amazing. My daughter and I joined the Filey class and we both loved it. A must for all!

Rachel
Scarborough
SUP Yoga

Happy Seal Yoga classes relax you in body and mind, and give you an amazing dose of fresh air and vitamin blue too. I've joined several of Helen's classes, both on the beach and on (and off!) a SUP. Her coaching is to a really high standard, and you always come away feeling emotionally and physically stronger, and super relaxed. I have particularly loved her SUP yoga, it's great for your balance and your paddling!

Sally
Scarborough
Vinyasa Yoga Class

I had not done Yoga previously. Helen and the other participants made me feel welcome, and there was no pressure to do anything or everything. I really enjoyed the Vinyasa Yoga session.  I will be back for more.

Ashley
Whitby
Yoga by the sea class

I was holidaying in Whitby and was delighted to find that Happy Seal Yoga had a beach yoga class whilst I was there. I hadn’t practiced yoga for a while, so was a bit nervous.

I found Helen a very professional teacher, encouraging students to practice and develop at their own pace. Her warmth and humour made the class great fun and the other students were friendly and welcoming. The beach location was perfect!

Thank you Helen, I will definitely return for another class when I’m in the area!
