Yoga classes operate at many of the guesthouses and dedicated studios along the Lighthouse Beach strip, with classes most commonly offered in the early morning (around 7am) and again in the late afternoon. The standard offering is Hatha yoga for mixed levels, though some longer-stay operators run Ashtanga, Iyengar, and pranayama sessions for more experienced practitioners.
Quality here follows the same pattern as Ayurveda: the informal early-morning beach sessions taught by self-described teachers differ substantially from classes offered by instructors with formal training and lineage. The Kerala ashram tradition — most prominently represented by Sivananda centres — has influenced the better operators here. A single drop-in class typically runs for 90 minutes. Multi-day and multi-week programmes are available for travellers planning to stay; these combine yoga with diet and Ayurvedic treatments and are marketed heavily by the resort hotels.
If you are a serious practitioner, ask specifically about the teacher's training and how long they have been teaching before committing to a longer programme. The informal conversational culture of the Lighthouse Beach strip makes this kind of direct questioning entirely normal.
