Combining the Elements of Yoga with the Elements of Nature is truly something special. Classes are designed for all levels. So fear not! You don’t need any paddle or yoga experience to partake and enjoy. The demo, instructions, and yoga flow are catered to fit the beginners needs, with additional options offered if you are a seasoned practitioner and would like to test your skills. All classes start with a brief 10 minute water safety and paddle instruction on land, then a 20 minute paddle up the river to our anchor point, followed by a gentle 40 minute yoga flow, and ending with some time to just pause and float and take it all in as we let the river gently guide us back to our docking point.
No matter if it’s a sup yoga lesson or a stand up paddle board lesson consider wearing clothes you can move around in and that are dry-wicking materials, bathing suits, or yoga clothes are ideal. Consider avoiding cotton fabrics.
A positive attitude, a willingness to play, and learn for starters. You do not need to bring a water proof camera, Gopro, or cell phone on the water unless you have something to carry it in. Most boards have tie down straps to hold shoes or water bottles. However, don’t bring your best ones in case you fall in and items fall off your board. Most items do not float. Do bring a hat, sunblock, bug spray if you may want it, a snack and extra water for after class.
Please ensure that you arrive 15 minutes before class so that you can get situated with your gear and you are ready to launch on time. Departures will not wait, and anyone not on site by the time of launch will be ineligible for refunds.
Choose lightweight, moisture-wicking clothes for comfort during paddleboarding and yoga.
Getting to the river a few minutes early ensures you have ample time to settle in with all gear ready.
Avoid sessions during strong winds or storms for safety and enjoyment.
Protect your skin from sun exposure and stay hydrated on the water.
