Please bring your own mat & props if you have them. If you need to borrow equipment please get in touch. You may also want to bring water, sunglasses, sun cream (here's hoping!), layers, a towel or blanket for savasana, and if it's your thing, maybe your swimmers for a post yoga dip!

Vinyasa Flow Yoga classes start in the village from Monday 4th September. These will be held on:
  • Monday evenings from 6pm to 7pm at The Bridge (Formerly Community Centre), 
  • and on: 
  • Friday mornings from 9:30am to 10:30am in the Guide Hut in Sea Road.

These classes will be taught in a vinyasa flow style, meaning movement with breath. This often continuous flow of movement makes for an invigorating practice, and adds to the rewarding feeling during savasana, a relaxed supine pose which is used to bring every practice to a close. 

You do not need to be experienced or able to touch your toes to join this class, just a willing desire to move up and down and around the mat in a fun and judgement free zone!

Free Taster Session - £12 Drop In thereafter, - or 5 Class Pack £50.

About Lucie and Ocean Soul Yoga

Lucie is an ocean lover and yoga enthusiast, and moved to Milford on Sea in 2020. Lucie’s family and friends are a big part of her life here, and when she’s not teaching yoga, or baby and preschool swimming, she is busy being Mum to Rubie-Lynn, Step-Mum to Madalyn and wife to American hubby Daniel.

Lucie takes great pleasure in anything ocean related. Paddle boarding, surfing, and scuba diving are all top of the list when it comes to ocean related sports and Lucie also enjoys sea swimming all-year round locally in the Solent. More often than not you will find her walking her dog Peaches or running to and from the village to pick up Rubie-Lynn.

Lucie has been teaching yoga since completing her yoga teacher training in 2016 and believes passionately in the benefits this practice can bring to the physical body as well as the mind.
 
She teaches vinyasa, hatha and restorative yoga, and is planning to complete a children's yoga training later this year and a pre and post natal yoga training next year.

Prior to moving to Milford on Sea, Lucie had a few transient years between the UK and America. For a number of years she was living and working in the Caribbean as a marine biologist specialising in sea turtles, whale sharks, and underwater buoy systems. She then went on to do a yoga teacher training in 2016 in Costa Rica, after which she moved to New Orleans to be with her then boyfriend, now husband Daniel, and worked offshore as a marine observer at sea on big dredge boats, and taught yoga at downtown yoga studios in New Orleans when on land.  

Lucie and Daniel were married in the village last year, and are now very happily settling into life in Milford on Sea.
