The founder of Yoga For Bad People retreats, Heather Lilleston shares her Montauk musts.

My Montauk uniform is…
A Brazilian bikini or short-shorts and an off-the-shoulder tank over a fluorescent-colored bra.

My favorite beach read…
The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer.

My favorite beach grub…
The salad special from Naturally Good or tacos from La Brisa.

My beach beauty tips…
Allow your hair to dry naturally after going into the ocean, put good sunscreen on your face, wear a hat and SPF 8 Hawaiian Tropic tanning oil everywhere else.

Yoga newbies hitting the beach can…
Practice Savasana while tanning.

My yoga playlist includes…
Hand-Made by Alt-J, Everybody Loves the Sunshine by Roy Ayers and Wash. by Bon Iver.

My yoga motivation mantra is…
Yoga is for bad people, too.

If you subscribe that philosophy and have 24 hours to spend in Montauk, I recommend you…
Wake up early, down some coffee, go for a run, take yoga, hit the beach, cook with friends and start a dance party under the moon, in front of a bonfire on the beach.

In Montauk, when I’m not teaching yoga, you can find me…
At the beach and cooking with friends.

One secret only a Montauk local would know is…
The best month to be in Montauk is September.
