What is SUP Yoga?

SUP Yoga is the practice of Yoga on a Paddle Board in the water.


The Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) has been gaining popularity in recent years. It provides a unique way to enjoy the water, provide a low-impact workout, and can be used for a variety of water sports. The latest craze is SUP Yoga, which is a Yoga practice that combines both Stand Up Paddle boarding and Yoga.

In a SUP Yoga class, the aspects of Yoga are adapted: asana, pranayama, mudra, and meditation, to complete the practice on a Paddle Surf board, so it is always practiced on a water surface.
