When the morning yoga sails
The catamaran leaves the El Mouradi Djerba Menzel pier every Wednesday and Saturday from 7 to 9 am, when the sea is at its calmest and the light is soft. The early departure means flat water for a steady practice and the whole bay almost to yourself before the beaches wake up. Hotel pickup is arranged for around 6:30 am.
What the session includes
Each departure includes the round-trip hotel transfer, roughly two hours at sea on a stable catamaran, a guided yoga and meditation session led by a certified instructor, a swim and snorkeling stop, and a light breakfast with tea, fruit and water. Yoga mats, life jackets and a local skipper are always provided, and the class is suitable for all levels.
Tips for a good morning
Wear comfortable sportswear over a swimsuit, and bring a towel and sunscreen. No experience is needed — the flow is slow and beginner-friendly, open to anyone from age 12. Spots are limited to keep the group small and calm, so book the day before in high season.
