About

Open your heart, calm your mind and connect to the natural flow of life with Paddleboard Yoga on the Hudson River. The added challenge of practicing Asana on the water can enhance the normal core body Yoga workout. Maintaining stability on a paddleboard not only provides a better understanding of proper alignment but also can provide a much greater awareness of balance and a more significant level of focus during the practice. The connection of breath to movement aligns itself with the ebb and flow of the sea. Many metaphors and much personal learning can be drawn from a water-based practice including staying present, sitting with instability and change, overcoming fear and finding your own resilience. The outdoor setting can provide respite from the city as well as a greater, more compassionate connection between mind, body, sea, sky, humanity and the universe, perhaps even our larger purpose. This Level 1-2 Paddleboard Yoga class involves both Hatha and Vinyassa techniques. The class includes a paddling warm up. After the warmup, the group will then "clip in" to anchor points to create a floating, on water, yoga studio. The class will take place at anchor in a protected embayment on the Hoboken side of the River with stunning views of Manhattan as the back-drop. The class follows the American Canoe Association curriculum and industry standards for risk management. The “challenge by choice” model will be used to ensure comfort while allowing each person to participate at his or her own level and develop skills at his or her own speed.

Some paddleboard experience is necessary for this SUP Yoga activity. The 1 hr Learn to Paddleboard class or an equivalent is required. If you have no experience, please sign up for both classes and enjoy the many benefits of Paddleboarding and Paddleboard Yoga!
