About
The element of water during a yoga practice amplifies wellness by increasing blood flow to both the brain and heart while inducing deeper relaxation.
This empowering, yet flexible, challenge-by-choice practice begins with a slow flow - low to the board - with pose variation options as we progress to standing poses. The practice comes to a close by returning down to the board with a restorative meditation and a paddle back to the beach. Everyday distractions melt away, deepening the focus on strength and alignment as you transition from one pose to the next.
