Hatha Yoga Classes in Playa del Carmen, Mexico

"Teaching in a tropical setting gives me a feeling of spaciousness. Imagine facing the aqua-blue Caribbean Sea as you stand in Mountain Pose. The sun sparkling off the water is an awesome
sight - as inspiring as it is powerful. This constantly moving mass of energy invigorates our practice and the sound of the waves promotes tranquility during the relaxation we do at the end of each class.

I am a Registered Yoga Alliance teacher and both Ellen, my talented Dutch co-teacher and I, welcome you to
Yoga By The Sea when you visit our beautiful part of the world."
- Arielle Thomas Newman

“I liked the attention we get from you to master each pose. I have been in classes where the teacher is not as aware of each student’s level or needs.”  
Suzanne Hill–Nashville, Tennessee

“The level of the classes was perfect – full of helpful explanations.” 
Janet Merkley– Ontario, Canada

“I found the meditation portions (including breathing) particularly relaxing.”
