SUP yoga = yoga on a stand-up paddle board. I'd been seeing a lot about this new trend in yoga in the media this summer and when I found out there was a class in my area, I felt it was my duty to check it out and report back to you. It was a true measure of my dedication, dear reader, because I'm the type of person who gets seasick standing on the dock. Luckily, there were no waves on my inland lake and it was enough of an adventure that I forgot I was supposed to be queasy. Get all the details on my SUP yoga experience, including tips for those ready to give it try.

I did it this summer in Pensecola, FL!!! Loved it! I only have a home practice because I live in rural Appalachia. So I always try to catch a class when I travel. I saw this yoga style creeping in to my research and tried it – Loved it and went back! There was something so powerful about accomplishing warrior II while overcoming my possible and working with board and the horizon changing as the board turned direction. Although I am now home and doing SUP yoga in the “creek” would be exciting, it is not quite as serene:)
