Yoga by the sea with Happy Seal Yoga
There’s something different about doing yoga with the sound of the sea in the background.
Happy Seal Yoga runs outdoor yoga sessions along the North Yorkshire coast, bringing together movement, fresh air and some of our favourite stretches of coastline.
And it happens to be one of our favourite ways to start a day.

Happy Seal Yoga was founded by Helen Peterson, combining her love of yoga with years spent working around the sea. Today, classes take place in coastal locations including Scarborough, Cayton Bay, Filey, Sandsend and Whitby.
The idea is beautifully simple: roll out a mat, look towards the sea and move.
You don't need to be an experienced yogi either. Sessions are designed to be welcoming to different levels, so they're just as suited to someone trying yoga for the first time as someone with an established practice.
Our local session //
The Scarborough Yoga by the Sea sessions are particularly easy to reach from The Lodge.
Happy Seal currently lists its Scarborough outdoor sessions at 7.15am on Fridays and 9.30am on Sundays, with each class lasting around 45 minutes. At the time of writing, sessions are £8.
We’re often at the Friday morning session ourselves.
There is something rather lovely about being on the beach first thing, moving beside the sea while Scarborough is only just beginning to wake up.
From The Lodge: around 10 minutes by car
Session: approximately 45 minutes
What to bring: comfortable layers and a yoga mat
Booking: check Happy Seal Yoga for current locations, times and availability before setting off.
From the beach to The Lodge //
If you're staying with us over the weekend, have a look at the Happy Seal timetable and see if you can pop into a session while you're here.
You'll often find us at the Friday morning Scarborough session.
Yoga by the sea, then back to The Lodge for a hot shower, coffee and a slow breakfast before getting ready for a day exploring the Yorkshire Coast.
A pretty good start to the day.
Stay + slow down //
The Lodge is made for weekends that involve a little more time outside.
Walk the coast. Swim in the sea. Do yoga on the beach. Come home, put the robes on and run the outdoor bath.
Happy Seal Yoga fits beautifully into that kind of stay.
