How a yoga cruise turned me from worrier to warrior

But, immediately, this was different. The combination of Sylvie’s melodious French accent, the rhythmic splash of the water against our boat, and – thanks to Costa Rica’s proximity to the equator – the surprising warmth from the early sunrise was an almost instantaneous recipe for calmness.

And more than that – this was fun, too. I instantly warmed to Sylvie – down-to-earth and not too woo-woo (no chanting or tinkling of bells to be found here). At the end of the hour, I realised that the only thoughts that punctuated my concentration as I’d tried to achieve the different positions were that morning’s dolphins – four abreast like synchronised swimmers – that had put on a spectacular display as they arched and dived alongside us.

You may ask why a self-confessed yoga-phobic was on a yoga-themed cruise? Tall-ship line Star Clippers only recently returned to Central America for the first time in almost a decade, and with a series of sailings taking in Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama selling out quickly, I was eager to get aboard – even if it meant joining one of the many yoga sailings, on which complimentary classes are available for every ability, including complete beginners.

Any trip on a Star Clippers ship – each of which is a love letter to the golden age of sailing – is as much about the voyage and on-board experiences as it is a means of getting from A to B. So, with this in mind, I decided to throw myself into the daily sessions.
