Morning Yoga at Meili Beach Resort: A Serene Start to My Weekend in Alcoy, Cebu

Last weekend, I had the most refreshing and soul-soothing morning yoga session at the stunning white sand beach of Meili Beach Resort in Alcoy, Cebu. The calming waves, soft sea breeze, and warm golden sunrise made it an unforgettable experience. Practicing yoga by the ocean brings a different kind of energy—one that makes you feel grounded yet free at the same time.

Embracing the Morning Flow

Waking up early to catch the sunrise, I rolled out my yoga mat right on the soft, powdery sand. The rhythmic sound of the waves became my natural meditation guide as I moved through my flow—starting with gentle stretches, deep breathing, and gradually transitioning into sun salutations. The fresh sea air made every inhale feel rejuvenating, filling my lungs with positivity and peace.

Yoga and Swimwear: The Perfect Pair

For this yoga session, I wore my Osprey swimwear, which provided the perfect balance of comfort, flexibility, and support. I love how it allows me to transition effortlessly from yoga to swimming without needing a wardrobe change. Since the resort’s beachfront is so inviting, I took a quick dip in the ocean right after my practice—it was the perfect reward after a calming yet energizing session.

I’m already looking forward to my next yoga session by the beach, and I’ve been eyeing some new stylish yet functional swimwear to enhance my experience. If you’re also looking for comfortable and yoga-friendly swimwear, check out this collection on Shopee: Click here to shop my top picks!

Why You Should Try Beach Yoga

If you’ve never tried practicing yoga by the ocean, I highly recommend it. Here’s why:

  • Natural Elements Enhance Relaxation – The sound of the waves acts as a natural white noise, helping you enter a deeper state of meditation.
  • Soft Sand is Gentle on Joints – Unlike hard studio floors, the sand supports your body, making it easier on your knees and wrists.
  • Vitamin D Boost – Practicing outdoors allows you to soak up the morning sun’s natural Vitamin D, which is essential for overall well-being.
  • Seamless Transition to Swimming – Nothing beats the feeling of cooling off in the ocean right after an invigorating yoga session.

What is Yoga?
In layman's term, yoga is a kind of exercise that is practiced by somebody who brings a rolled mat at their back. That's what I perceived a few years back then about yoga. What came to my mind about that thing "Yoga is cool" and that's very true. That's why it is practiced for such a long period, 5000 years ago when you google about it. 

Yoga is a five-millennia-old mind and body practice that has changed over time from ancient Indian philosophy. Modern yoga combines physical postures like stretching and poses, breathing techniques, and meditation or relaxation to stimulate inner peace and physical energy.

Ancient yoga was less about physical exercise and more about mental focus and expanding spiritual energy. The Yoga Sutra, now considered to be the definitive guidebook to practicing yoga, came into the practice 2000 years ago.

There are many different types of yoga depending on what people want from it and a person’s current level of physical fitness. However, some people choose to replace conventional treatment for conditions with yoga and this can prevent a person from receiving the necessary care. People with certain conditions, such as sciatica, should approach yoga slowly and with caution. Yoga can help support a balanced and active lifestyle.

Who will practice Yoga?
Everyone can practice Yoga. From children to teenagers to young adults and even elders, everybody can practice Yoga as long as they like it and committed to doing the practice.
Yoga practice is for everyone who seeks inner peace while doing physical fitness anytime and anywhere. 

Where do you practice yoga?
Anywhere, everywhere you can practice yoga. You can do it inside your room, even in bed. Yoga simply requires a small space where you fit in. To change the ambiance of yoga practice, you can do it outdoor as well even on your porch, front yard, back yard, rooftop, living room, in the kitchen area or at the poolside or shoreline, park, everywhere as long as you are comfortable upon doing it. 

When do you practice Yoga?
You can practice yoga daily or at any intervals you like because it's a low-impact exercise. Some will practice yoga 3 to 5 times a week. In my case, I practice Yoga whenever I need it to practice daily sometimes or once a week.

Why do you practice Yoga?
There are many benefits you can have after practicing yoga. 
    1. o Yoga makes you feel better, more open, mindful, and happier. Try it to see it for yourself!
    2. o Yoga can help manage your stress.
    3. o Yoga relaxes you and helps you to sleep well.
    4. o Yoga gives you physical strength and increases flexibility. With constant & consistent practice, this results in toned muscles.
    5. o Yoga aids back pain relief and relaxes arthritis symptoms.
    6. o Yoga makes your heart healthy.
    7. o Yoga promotes self-care.

How do you practice Yoga?
Now is the best time to roll out your yoga mat and uncover the physical and mental benefits offered by yoga. Yoga is such a beautiful and most accessible exercise that everyone can do. Don't be discouraged by yoga jargons, fancy yoga studios, and complicated yoga poses. You can practice yoga anytime, anywhere you want it to be. Yoga is for everybody. 
Here are the 10 building blocks of yoga poses. These 10 yoga poses are a complete yoga exercise. Move slowly through each pose and breathe as you move. Pause after any pose when needed and start again when your breathing returns to normal. The idea is to hold each pose for a few, slow breaths before moving on to the next pose.
