What is SUP Yoga / Standup Paddleboard Yoga?
Calm the mind quicker and get a tan
Standup Paddleboard (SUP) Yoga combines standup paddleboarding, which originated in Hawaii in the 1940s, with the ancient practice of yoga from India.
Practicing yoga on a floating surface forces you to use muscles that tend to be forgotten about in a land practice, requiring intense focus, which can then calm the mind the much quicker. The most basic poses and transitions are a whole new challenge.
Benefits of SUP Yoga include:
- An appreciation and reconnection with nature which is known to have a positive effect on mental and emotional health
- Core and full body strength training = cardio + strength + stretching
- Improves balance, stability and endurance
- Options for low impact and useful during some healing and rehab programs
- Reduces stress, anxiety, pain and suffering
- Vitamin D + suncreen = year round tan
- Beginners to advanced welcome, as I give options for all levels
- And last but not least, your land practice will become progress and improve!
