Everyone knows that the beach is a great place to exercise; there’s the water right there for boogie boarding, surfing, swimming, and the sand is perfect for jogging and beach volleyball. The Strand, running through Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach, is the perfect route for biking, rollerblading, or walking dogs. Now, you can also do yoga on the beach.

Free yoga classes on the Redondo Beach Pier every Thursday in September are sponsored by the Cancer Support Community – Redondo Beach, the Redondo Beach Pier Association, and Spectrum Athletic Clubs. Every Thursday from 6–7 p.m. in September, you can relax and do yoga in a gorgeous setting with an experienced instructor, and it all goes to benefit services for cancer patients. Donations for the Cancer Support Community are welcomed and encouraged at every yoga class.

Bring a yoga mat, a towel, and water. You don’t have to be an expert, either, to take advantage of this wonderful series. More information can be found on the CRC website.

This is the kind of gorgeous setting you can expect from yoga on the pier:
