Please note - Bookings are only confirmed upon receipt of full payment.
+ What can I expect?
Classes are safe, playfully challenging, fun and of course relaxing. There’s no judgement or competitiveness. We practice in a safe way which means you don’t do anything that brings discomfort and certainly not pain in any way.
We practice with Ahimsa (non-violence, to the self or others). When we learn to be mindful and compassionate to ourselves we are more easily available to extend that same compassion to others. Don’t ever feel you must practice a pose on the SUP, it's simply an invitation to play around with poses. If you do not want to take a standing posture for example then you simply continue the seated or kneeling variation, or take child’s pose. Always listen to the whispering of your intuitive inner guidance, not the inner critic.
+ How does SUP Yoga train my core muscles?
At over 3mtrs long, 80cm wide, and 15cm thick, you’ll be pleasantly surprised how extremely stable your floating platform has to offer. On the water, the body considers it an unstable surface which automatically engages your core and proprioceptor muscles. You voluntarily and involuntarily engage muscles that you're not even aware of because you're so focussed on the present moment. This muscular engagement helps to keep you stable on the board preventing you falling into the water. This muscle contraction inherently helps you to develop strength, endurance, balance, coordination, courage, and confidence.
+ Who is class suitable for?
Whether you're a seasoned yogi with an established practice or you have never tried yoga or been on a paddleboard classes are suitable for all levels of ability so long as you can swim and are comfortable around water.
Fun fact: not many people fall off!
+ I'm pregnant, can I join?
I offer prenatal SUP Yoga to women experiencing healthy pregnancies who are in the 2nd and early 3rd trimesters who have some experience of yoga &/or SUP.
Due to the delicate nature of pregnancy I do not offer prenatal SUP Yoga to women in the 1st or late stages of 3rd trimester, or who is/has experienced complications with previous pregnancies including miscarriage.
+ What is included?
All appropriate equipment is provided. Wetsuits can be hired separately at a small additional cost.
+ What to wear and bring?
Wear comfortable yoga clothes/sportswear. Quick drying is great but not essential. Flip-flops/water friendly footwear can be helpful for when carrying the board to/from the shore.
Remember to apply high SPF prior to class. Bring drinking water, a towel, and possibly some dry clothes. You may wish to bring inexpensive sunglasses, hat, waterproof phone/camera casing, a post-session snack.
