The Malta yoga year

Malta's light and heat change what kind of practice suits each month. Here is the year at a glance, with sunrise, sunset and daylight for the middle of every month in 2026.

    Almond blossom and fresh wind. Bright mornings come between showers, so bring a layer for anything outdoors.

    Wild flowers on the cliffs. The days lengthen and the air is mild, a good month to start practising outside again.

    Spring at its fullest. Warm sun, cool mornings and countryside that is still green.

    Early summer. The fields turn gold, and sunrise and sunset sessions start to make sense.

    The longest days. By mid-morning shade matters, so outdoor classes move to the edges of the day.

    July Sunrise 05:57Sunset 20:20 14 h 22 min of daylight

    High summer. Practise early or after sunset, and drink more water than you think you need.

    August Sunrise 06:21Sunset 19:54 13 h 33 min of daylight

    The early shore. The sea is usually calm at first light, and it is hot by mid-morning.

    September Sunrise 06:45Sunset 19:11 12 h 26 min of daylight

    A warm sea and softer light. Hunting season opens in the countryside, so check before a dawn walk.

  10. Illustration of Malta in October
    October Sunrise 07:09Sunset 18:28 11 h 19 min of daylight

    The first rain on the stone. The air clears and the evenings turn cool.

  11. Illustration of Malta in November
    November Sunrise 06:39Sunset 16:56 10 h 17 min of daylight

    Mild days and early dark. Daylight practice outdoors works best from mid-morning.

  12. Illustration of Malta in December
    December Sunrise 07:06Sunset 16:50 9 h 44 min of daylight

    Short days and rough seas. A month for indoor classes and quiet weekends in Gozo.

Times are calculated for Valletta on the 15th of each month, in Malta time. Cliffs and hills can hide the sun for a little longer. The illustrations are not photographs.
