Beach Town Studios and Ocean-Side Practice
Montauk yoga embodies everything that makes the East End’s furthest point special. The laid-back, authentic beach town energy creates a distinct practice culture where surfers, seasonal visitors, and year-round residents embrace raw natural beauty as integral to their yoga. Studios here offer experiences unavailable in conventional settings—SUP yoga on calm bays, post-practice Atlantic swims, and outdoor sessions with ocean soundtracks.

Yoga Lila Montauk
Yoga Lila operates as a locally-owned studio offering alignment-based classes with modifications for all levels. The intimate setting creates semi-private experiences even in group sessions. Instructors provide individual attention that larger studios cannot match.
Class Offerings
Fundamentals: Classes focus on Hatha Yoga basics appropriate for first-time students, prenatal practitioners, and those working with injuries. Students learn proper alignment with careful attention to joints and ligaments, using props to build strong foundations.
Intermediate: For strong beginners to intermediate students, these classes refine basic postures while introducing inversions, backbends, and arm balances. Pranayama (breath control) integrates with physical practice.
Hot Hatha: Practiced in a moist, heated studio around 90 degrees. Students should be well hydrated, in good physical health, and have basic asana knowledge. The reward: an invigorating dip in the Atlantic afterward, just steps away.
SUP Yoga
Yoga Lila’s signature offering combines paddleboarding with yoga practice. These 90-minute sessions include land warm-up, paddle to scenic destinations, and yoga focused on balance and core strength. The outdoor setting relaxes and grounds practitioners in ways studio practice cannot replicate. Bring water, towel, and bathing suit for the full experience.

The Montauk Difference
Yoga in Montauk integrates ocean, sand, and sky into practice in ways other Hamptons locations cannot. The town’s authentic surf culture influences studio atmospheres—less polished, more genuine. Studios cater to active lifestyles where practice serves recovery from surfing, swimming, and outdoor adventure rather than standing alone as fitness activity.
Seasonal rhythms matter here. Summer brings expanded schedules, outdoor options, and visiting teachers. Off-season offers intimate classes with local instructors and easier access. Year-round residents maintain consistent practices that deepen through both phases.
