Beach Yoga is the practice of various forms of yoga on the beach. The current term is believed to be of Western origin, through the popularization of Yoga in the West; though the traditional practice of yoga by those of the hindu culture on the seashore is not ruled out. The modern term for this form of yoga came about with the coupling of beach recreation and yoga whereby yoga practicioners could perform their moves whilst also taking advantage of the sun (for sunbathing and calm). Many claim that beach yoga is beneficial not just because of the actions involved but the calming sound and atmosphere a seaside setting can provide.
