Yoga at the Monterey Bay Aquarium
Step into the wonder of the ocean and onto your mat for an unforgettable yoga experience set inside the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s most iconic exhibit — the Open Sea. Surrounded by hammerhead sharks, sea turtles, and shimmering schools of tuna, this all-levels class is a rare opportunity to move, breathe, and connect in a space dedicated to awe, conservation, and deep reverence for nature.
This 60-minute practice is inspired by the energy of water and the creative flow of the sacral (second) chakra. Designed to honor the fluidity of the body and the rhythm of the ocean, this offering invites you to slow down, soften, and remember your place within the greater web of life.

“Aquarium Yoga with Jordan was pure magic. The slow, gentle flow felt deeply grounding, but what made it truly unforgettable was the way she wove each posture into the rhythm of the marine life around us. Moving through poses while watching enormous tuna, sharks and sea turtles swim around created a sense of connection that was beyond words. Easily one of the most unique and breathtaking yoga experiences in the world.”
