Coastal Yoga

Coastal Yoga is a studio in Winthrop Center offering power yoga, infrared heat classes, sculpt and strength classes and hot Pilates. Its philosophy is to work with the body each student shows up in that day, so teachers move through the room giving adjustments, modifications and encouragement. Classes are designed for beginners stepping onto a mat for the first time as well as people deepening a long-time practice, with yoga, Pilates and strength work offered side by side.

Beyond group classes, the studio offers one-on-one personal training and monthly workshops. It also runs a Registered Yoga Teacher Training rooted in alignment-based vinyasa, shaped by the program leader’s background as a corrective exercise specialist and personal trainer. The program covers functional anatomy, safe alignment, sequencing and hands-on teaching, with sections led by a diverse group of experienced teachers, and it is meant both for those who want to teach and for those who want to deepen their own practice.
