sup yoga at the yoga center retreat
what is sup yoga?
Stand-Up Paddleboard Yoga has become a trend for both yogis and paddleboard enthusiasts alike. Bringing your yoga practice to the water can improve your technique and form tremendously due to the increased amount of strength, balance and focus it takes to hold the poses on water.
Poses will be easy to moderate intensity and modified specifically for a paddleboard. You can expect transitions between poses to take at least twice as long as they do on land. These classes are appropriate for those with no yoga experience.
sup yoga on Bde Maka Ska
SUP Yoga classes take place on Friday evenings from 6-8pm. We will meet at the Bde Maka Ska North parking lot (it is a pay lot or you can find street parking and walk over). During the first hour we’ll get our boards, go over safety and basic paddling techniques and then go for a paddle. We’ll get to a spot where we’ll anchor our boards and enjoy gentle yoga poses on the water.
The class is $45, and you are able to BYOB (bring your own board). If you need to rent one, it is an additional $10. You must have a life jacket with you at all times; they are included in the board rental.
