Cullercoats beach feels like a second home to me - I am lucky enough to be able to teach yoga on the beach and, like many of my students, I also enjoy a dip in the sea at all year round (yes, it is very cold!). Cullercoats feels like a safe place to swim, partly because of its sheltered horseshoe-shaped bay, but mainly because of the Cullercoats Lifeboat Station.

This Saturday (6 August 2022) is Cullercoats Harbour Day with fun and festivities raising money to support the lifeboat. I wanted to do something to contribute so I decided to donate all the proceeds from this week’s Beach Yoga class, £40.10, to the RNLI. Don’t forget that 10p! One of my students, Carol, found it on the beach this morning – every little helps!

Cullercoats Harbour Day will be running from 11am on Saturday with stalls, music, food and watersports taster sessions. You can find out more here or just go along https://www.facebook.com/cullercoatslifeboat/.
