What is SUP?

Stand Up Paddle board Yoga (SUP) is yoga on a yoga specific floating board anchored to the lake. Our boards are softer than regular stand up paddle boards, with the same sturdy structure to protect you. Our instructors help you learn to engage your core in a way that allows you to access control over your board so that you can experience yoga asanas (poses) in a whole new way!

Class Descriptions

Sunset thursday SUP

This class awakens you as the sun warms your body, mind and soul. Once you have finished your paddle, you anchor out on the boards for the yoga. Class begins with deep breath work that flows into a slow stretch to restore and rejuvenate. You will then challenge your body with a strong standing sequence.  Class ends with finishing stretches to preparing the body for rest.  As you relax into a meditative float, you will become connected to nature and find a deep peace within your savasana. Listen to the sounds of nature that surround you, feel the waves eb and flow beneath you and just let go. Our Sup class starts on shore with foundational paddle instruction, teaching paddle mechanics and strokes. This attention to detail on shore keeps you controlled and confident when you take your new skills on the water. If you have paddled before you can begin with a refresher or just head out on the water. Once all students are anchored you will begin to immerse yourself into the yoga. As you flow through the poses you become challenged physically and mentally. You will also notice your connection to nature grow stronger as you move. The sweet sounds of birds will inspire you, the breeze cools your skin and the waves wash away your worries. Class will finish with a deep and peaceful float in savasana. The first class of the season is deeply rooted in the foundation of both yoga and paddling. Subsequent classes will then build from this foundation as you dive deeper into more advanced paddling. Yoga moves in the same way as each class becomes more detailed, challenging both your breath and movement. There is always time at the end of each class with our instructors for questions and trying new poses. All level yogis and paddlers are welcome.

private or Open Paddle and Play

This instructional class begins by teaching you the foundation of paddling on the shore. We detail out the different paddle strokes to keep you controlled and confident when you take your new skills to the water. If you have paddled before you can begin with a refresher or head out on the water to begin our open paddle session with one of our instructors. This format complements all levels of paddlers. Once all paddlers are on the water, we will paddle together for a bit and then the second half of the class will be a yoga play! During the yoga play we will explore different postures on the board, how they differ on the water versus land, and just enjoy exploring yoga on the water.
