Elements Yoga and Paddleboard
Elements Yoga and Paddleboard is a Monroe, New York-based outfitter specializing in stand up paddleboard yoga (SUP Yoga) and guided paddles on the Wallkill River and Long Dock Park in Beacon. The business offers a variety of experiences including beginner-friendly SUP Yoga classes, sunset sound journeys, social manifestation paddles, and combined yoga-and-drum-circle sessions. Each offering pairs basic paddle instruction with gentle on-board yoga flows, a scenic river paddle, and intentional concluding moments such as floating meditations or sound baths. Instructors prioritize safe paddling technique, board stability, and accessible yoga sequencing so participants at all levels can engage comfortably.
Sessions run from launch at riverfront parks such as Benedict Farm Park in Montgomery to Long Dock Park in Beacon, making waterways and shoreline scenery central to the experiences. Classes commonly include equipment provision and guided on-water instruction; specific logistics such as meeting points, required experience, and what to bring are provided at booking. The program appeals to people seeking low-impact exercise, mindful outdoor experiences, small-group social activities, and wellness-focused reconnection with nature.
