Healthy island habits (simple wins)

  • Best time to practise: mornings (cooler, calmer) or just before sunset.

  • Hydration & sun: carry water, reef-safe sunscreen; the walk to/from class can be hot.

  • Cross-training: swap a rest day with gentle snorkelling (slow, mindful movement) or a beach walk at low tide; your hips and lower back will thank you.


What to bring & how to be class-ready

  • Clothing: light, breathable layers; you’ll warm up fast.

  • Mats & props: most studios provide mats (bring a small towel if you sweat lots). Ocean Sound confirms mats are included. Koh Tao Diving and Yoga

  • Payment: small studios often prefer cash; some accept QR/transfer—check at the desk.

  • Etiquette: arrive 10–15 minutes early, silence phones, and let your teacher know about injuries.
