Yoga in Tynemouth
From beach yoga beneath the Priory to dedicated studios on Front Street, Tynemouth and the surrounding coast offer one of the North East's best selections of yoga classes.
Tynemouth's combination of sea air, sandy beaches, and a laid-back village atmosphere makes it a natural home for yoga. The area has a thriving scene, with dedicated studios, independent teachers, outdoor beach sessions, and options stretching along the coast through Cullercoats and Whitley Bay.
Jasmine Yoga and Wellbeing
Jasmine Yoga is based within Tynemouth Sailing Club on the Haven beach, just below the Priory and castle headland. The location alone sets it apart — classes take place either in a studio space inside the club or on an extensive roof terrace with views across the sea.
The timetable runs daily and covers a range of styles including vinyasa flow, yin yoga, restorative yoga, ashtanga, and zen mindfulness. Specialist classes include pregnancy yoga, mum and baby yoga, yoga for cancer, and menopause yoga, as well as sessions for children and teenagers.
Jasmine Yoga also hosts sound baths — guided relaxation sessions using singing bowls and other instruments — making it a one-stop wellbeing hub on the coast.
Best for: Daily yoga classes at Tynemouth Sailing Club with a rooftop terrace — vinyasa, yin, restorative, plus specialist sessions for pregnancy, cancer recovery, and menopause.
COVE Lifestyle Studios
COVE Lifestyle Studios sits at Studio 2, 24 Front Street, right in the heart of Tynemouth village. Founded by Rachel, the studio takes a welcoming, inclusive approach and caters for all abilities and experience levels.
COVE offers yoga, reformer pilates, and even stand-up paddleboarding sessions in warmer months. The yoga classes use a dynamic teaching style with an emphasis on a hands-off approach, catering for sensory needs and creating a space where everyone feels comfortable. It is a good option if you are new to yoga and want a supportive, non-intimidating environment.
The studio also hosts wellness events and workshops throughout the year.
Best for: Yoga and reformer pilates on Front Street — inclusive, dynamic, and welcoming to complete beginners.
Shore Yoga
Shore Yoga is based in Monkseaton but teaches across the coast, with regular classes in Cullercoats and outdoor sessions on the beaches at Tynemouth.
Their beach yoga sessions take place on the sand beneath Tynemouth Priory and combine yoga, meditation, and breathwork with the sound of the waves. These are seasonal (typically spring through autumn) and weather-dependent, but they are a genuinely special experience on a calm morning.
In the studio, Shore Yoga offers vinyasa, hatha, yin, and restorative classes as well as prenatal yoga and workshops. The studio environment is warm and friendly, and all levels are welcome.
Best for: Beach yoga beneath the Priory plus studio classes in Monkseaton — vinyasa, hatha, yin, and prenatal options.
Tynemouth Yoga Collective
The Tynemouth Yoga Collective brings together local teachers to offer a varied programme of classes in Tynemouth. The collective model means you get access to different teaching styles and approaches under one umbrella, which is useful if you want to explore what suits you best.
Liz Yoga
Liz Yoga teaches at COVE Lifestyle Studios on Thursdays and at other coastal venues. Sessions focus on accessible, alignment-based yoga that works for mixed-ability groups. If you prefer a quieter, more considered pace, Liz's classes are worth trying.
Along the Coast: Whitley Bay and Cullercoats
The yoga scene extends beyond Tynemouth village itself. Within easy reach:
-
Sarah McLusky Yoga offers relaxed and accessible hatha yoga in Whitley Bay, Cullercoats, and North Shields, including beach yoga at Cullercoats Bay, chair yoga, and beginners sessions. Classes run at venues including The Yoga Station in Whitley Bay and the Linskill Centre in North Shields.
-
The Happy Yogi is a friendly studio in Whitley Bay offering weekly drop-in classes at The Big Local, suitable for all levels.
-
Turtle Yoga runs mindfulness-focused, slower-paced classes in Cullercoats and Whitley Bay — a good option if you prefer a contemplative approach.
Beach Yoga: A Coastal Highlight
Several teachers offer outdoor yoga on the beaches between Tynemouth and Whitley Bay during the warmer months. Visit North Tyneside highlights beach yoga as one of the area's signature wellness experiences, and it is easy to see why. Practising on the sand with the sound of the sea and the backdrop of Tynemouth Priory is a world away from a gym studio.
Beach sessions are typically listed on individual teachers' websites and social media, so it is worth following Shore Yoga, Jasmine Yoga, and Sarah McLusky for seasonal schedules.
Choosing a Class
With so many options along the coast, here is a quick guide to styles:
- Vinyasa flow — dynamic, linking breath to movement, a moderate workout
- Hatha — slower-paced, holding postures, good for beginners
- Yin — long-held passive stretches, deeply calming
- Restorative — supported by props, focused on total relaxation
- Ashtanga — a set sequence of postures, physically demanding
- Beach yoga — outdoor practice combining yoga with the coastal environment
Most studios and teachers offer drop-in rates or introductory passes, so you can sample a few before committing.
