in the News SUP Classes first started back in 2012.. Destin Yoga has been Flowing at the Beach 13years,

it's only natural to take our practice out on the Gulf!

The practice of yoga on the stand up paddleboard creates a sense of being one with nature, a whole new perspective to being “fully present in the moment” and "Saluting the Sun". When you practice yoga on the water the board is your floating yoga mat. On Board transitions are slowed, core engagement emphasized and focus enhanced on proper alignment  in order to maintain balance amid nature’s changing elements. True flow that will be carried back to your yoga mat. All classes are for beginners, more advanced by request or level of class.

 

YOGA Pilates and SUP (Stand Up Paddleboarding) are all great for building better balance, coordination, endurance and body strength, a real adventure when put together!

 

SUP Yoga in Destin ~

 Get on Board the Coolest New Yoga Fitness Trend

Take your downward-facing dog to the beach, bay, lake or the Gulf... The Destin area has it all!

For more than 5,000 years, people have been practicing yoga to find sama, the yogi term for balance, both mentally and physically. Most yoga lovers will test their ability to balance just about anywhere and on anything-a bench, a ledge, or even another person. So given the recent trend in stand up paddle boarding (SUP)a workout in which balance is key, it's no surprise that someone thought to combine the two disciplines.

 First time out on a SUP board I had to try a Warrior I, humbling... feel in  It became a fun mission for me a practicing yoga teacher of 20+ years to do a sun salutation on the board and than onto arm balancing. Nothing like floating in headstand. Still working on Warrior III, as more teachers got on paddleboards, yoga sessions on stand up paddleboards is now the thing.

 New to Yoga and or Paddleboarding, no worries... Destin SUP yoga is geared toward all levels.  We use yoga foundations and principles to learn to get comfortable, calm and grounded on the board. What better way than yoga! We learn to go with the flow without fear or ego, it all takes practice.  Students laugh when the teachers falls in, part of the fun. Classes will begin with a paddle lesson... hero pose, camel pose prep and by the end of class new paddlers are paddling strong in a chair pose. A fun flowing  yoga session anchored down or tied to a line in-between paddling. Just as in land classes we work at your own pace. Some classes will have people practice their headstands and arm balances, while others are just seeing how their body reacts to being on the water in seated poses. Once you get more comfortable doing several yoga poses on your board, you'll get a true full-body workout and a greater awareness of the importance of proper alignment and core strength is gained, that can we carried back on your yoga mat :)

We also offer Pilates on Board, Private Yoga Paddle Lessons and Parties.  Free Fitness, Yoga and Pilates Paddle Groups

 

No matter what your experience or level of fitness, you will be paddling your very first session or floating on your head! Feeling grounded while floating, paddle lessons become natural with yoga techniques applied. Focused and balance sharpen, confidence heighten and playful heart opened.

SUP Yoga Ebb & Flow: Intro class all levels  As in yoga class we flow and go at our own pace. We start our practice on the yoga mat poolside or calming in a seated floating meditation on the board, getting the feel of the board/mat. The Paddleboard is used as your personal floating yoga mat. The paddle lesson becomes easy and natural in basic yoga poses breathing in the natural fresh air and tranquil sights you will be UP and Paddling before you know it. A peaceful paddle out to anchor down for a slow flow practice, a blissful floating savasana, picture taking and challenging pose play on the paddle back to land.  Excited to try it again!
