Join us for this brand-new aquatic program!
Stand Up Paddle Board Yoga (SUP Yoga) is an adventure in awareness and concentration. You must know where your limbs are at all times and how much weight you are distributing in each point of contact with the board. The flat part of the vessel is about the size of a yoga mat and its edges and the paddle can be used as stretching assists and props. The water around you is a safety net of softness and joy if you do lose balance, but can be a bit of a surprise. Each class is designed to enable exploration of your individual body strengths and the natural world, whether you are a newbie or seasoned practitioner.
Instructor Bio
Sharon Akers is a 500 hour certified yoga teacher and has been doing yoga for 30 years and teaching for 10. Despite her love of yoga she feels calmest when playing outside, especially on and in the water. Stand Up Paddle Board Yoga is a natural fit. She has been making shapes on paddle boards for a dozen years and teaching them for 2 seasons after getting certified with SUP Yo Adventures in May 2024.
