Pearl Beach Yoga
Pearl Beach Yoga is based on a style that draws its roots from the ancient teachings of Hatha yoga. It focuses on bringing the body, mind, and spirit into balance, via a dynamic sequence of physical postures, controlled use of the breath, and an underlying spiritual philosophy that creates a link between the practice of yoga on the mat, and the practice of yoga in daily life. There are currently 3 classes a week held in the Pearl Beach Community Hall, an easy 4 minute walk from Wildwood. Visit www.pearlbeachyoga.com.au

A licensed restaurant, a great cafe and a well stocked general store are all located on the beach front.
