Private Pilates & Yoga in Newport, RI | Your Instructor Comes to You
If you're searching for private yoga & pilates in Newport, Bad Girls Yoga brings a certified instructor directly to your location — no studio required. Whether you're here for a bachelorette weekend, a girls trip, or a birthday celebration, we come to you and handle everything from setup to the rosé toast that closes every session.
What Exactly Is A Private Group Yoga & Pilates Class?
A private group yoga and pilates class is a session booked exclusively for your group. Instead of joining a drop-in studio with strangers, your entire class is designed around your crew — your fitness levels, your playlist, your pace. With Bad Girls Yoga, every private group pilates class in Newport is built on our signature Namaste then Rosé™ experience: intentional movement, a custom soundtrack, and a celebratory finish.
It's a completely different experience from a studio class, and that's exactly the point.
Why Is Newport Such A Popular Spot For Private Yoga & Pilates?
Newport draws the kind of groups that are already thinking about their experience before they arrive — bachelorette parties, milestone birthdays, annual girls trips, and wellness-focused getaways are all deeply at home here. The mix of oceanfront estates, boutique hotels along Bellevue Avenue, historic inns on the Point, and spacious vacation rentals throughout Aquidneck Island gives us a genuinely stunning variety of spots to set up.
It's also worth noting that Newport runs on a distinct seasonal rhythm. Summer is the most popular window — the waterfront buzzes with bachelorette groups, the beaches are alive, and the city is fully energized — which means if your group is visiting between Memorial Day and Labor Day, booking well ahead is essential. Fall is equally beautiful here, with crisp ocean air and fewer crowds, making it a favorite for groups who want the full Newport experience without the peak summer rush.
Where Can We Set Up Your Private Yoga & Pilates Session In Newport?
This is one of the most common questions we get, and the short answer is: almost anywhere your group has access to, although permits or specific town ordinances may apply. Here's a breakdown of the most popular setups:
Beaches
Easton's Beach (First Beach) is Newport's most iconic stretch of shoreline — wide, sandy, and easily accessible from the heart of town, with plenty of open space to spread out for a morning session before the beach day begins. Second Beach in Middletown, just minutes from downtown Newport, offers a more relaxed feel with clean, spacious sands and a calmer atmosphere that works beautifully for groups who want a quieter outdoor experience. Third Beach sits along the Sakonnet River and is one of the most tranquil and sheltered options in the area, making it a wonderful choice for groups who want the water nearby without the wind and open-ocean energy of the main shoreline.
Parks & Scenic Spaces
Cliff Walk is one of Newport's most beloved landmarks — a 3.5-mile path hugging the Atlantic coast with dramatic ocean views and the iconic Gilded Age mansions as a backdrop. Sections of the walk offer flat, open areas that are ideal for a private session with scenery that simply cannot be beat. Brenton Point State Park stretches along the southern tip of Aquidneck Island with sweeping ocean views and wide open grassy lawns — one of the most scenic and spacious setups available for a larger group. Fort Adams State Park offers historic grounds, open green space, and stunning views of Newport Harbor and the Bay, making it a rich and memorable backdrop for a group yoga and pilates session.
Hotels & Resorts
The Vanderbilt, Auberge Resorts Collection is one of Newport's most celebrated luxury stays, and its refined, historic grounds create an effortlessly beautiful setting for a private yoga & pilates class. Hotel Viking is a classic Newport property with flexible private spaces that work well for groups of all sizes. The Francis Malbone House is a beloved boutique inn in the heart of the Historic Hill neighborhood, with intimate spaces and a warm, gracious vibe that's ideal for smaller groups celebrating a special occasion. The Chanler at Cliff Walk offers perhaps the most quintessential Newport experience possible, sitting right at the start of the Cliff Walk with sweeping ocean views and unmatched atmosphere. Please confirm with your resort's concierge that outside wellness vendors are permitted on-site before booking.
Vacation Rentals & Private Villas
If your group rented a house, villa, VRBO, or Airbnb in Newport — one of the most popular ways to experience the city — we work with whatever space you have. Pool decks, patios, sprawling back lawns, and open living areas are all fair game.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you come to a public beach or park in Newport?
Yes. As long as your group has a workable open space, we can set up. Some public spaces in Newport may require a permit, so we recommend reaching out early to confirm details.
Do we need any prior yoga or pilates experience?
Not at all. Our instructors are skilled at reading the room and adjusting the class to fit everybody and every level. Whether no one in your group has ever done yoga or pilates, or your crew has years of experience, the session works for everyone.
How far in advance should we book in Newport?
As early as possible — Newport summers fill up extremely fast, and weekend availability during peak season goes quickly. That said, reach out even if your date is coming up soon and we'll do our best to make it work.
What if our vacation rental doesn't have outdoor space?
No problem. We can set up inside as well, using whatever space your rental or hotel room provides. A cleared living room, an open suite, or a covered patio all work just fine.
What does a session cost?
Pricing is based on group size. Fill out the inquiry form and we'll send over everything you need to know.
Is the rosé toast really included?
Always. It's our signature close — a chilled glass to celebrate being together. It's one of our favorite parts of every session, and it makes the whole experience feel like a proper occasion.
