Stand Up Paddleboard Yoga

Catalog description

Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) Yoga unites the sport of SUP, an offshoot of surfing that developed in Hawaii, with the ancient practice of yoga. In this class, students will learn the art of performing yoga poses and techniques while on an SUP in still water. Practicing yoga on a surface that is less stable, like the paddleboard, engages the core and strengthens other muscles which may be neglected in on-land activity. This also requires intense focus, mindfulness, and intentionality to transition between poses while keeping the board steady. Those with more yoga experience will have the opportunity to practice the "beginner's mindset" as even well-practiced poses and routines become new when performed on a floating surface. **Fee: A course fee applied via SFS bill. See Course Notes for course fee information.**
