Book Your Spot via Eventbrite

Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP) Yoga brings the asana (postures), pranayama (breathing) and meditation aspects of yoga onto a paddle-board in calm waters, to create a unique yoga experience!

What to bring/wear
Swimwear or clothing you don't mind getting wet, a towel, a rashie (or t-shirt to protect from the UV rays), sunglasses as an option (not your favourite pair!).

What to expect
We will paddle out just offshore (usually no more than 20 meters), and anchor down our boards so you don’t have to worry about drifting away. From there, we will begin getting used to the board and the space of your new yoga “mat”. After some seated and kneeling postures, we will slowly work up towards sun salutations and other more challenging postures on the water.

It's no different to any other yoga class – modifications will be given for all levels, and opportunities given to stay where you are or explore further. Child's pose is welcome at any time to connect back to the gentle flow of the breath and the water. Finishing the yoga class in Savasana on the water is the most beautiful and relaxing experience, being lulled into deep relaxation as your body fully let go and moves with the water.
