Paddle yoga?

I will never be that amazing.  

 

DH and I tried SUP earlier this month and it was great fun.  However, just getting into a standing position on the board was pretty (extremely) tricky.  And what would you do if you're standing on your head and a boat cruises by and leaves a decent wake behind?  I shudder to think.

We have a stand up paddle board shop and have run Pilates classes before. Most of The folks that signed up hadn't even paddle boarded before, but they did well and enjoyed it. I think it sounds and looks more difficult than it actually is. We had our classes near a local park where boat traffic was restricted.

I saw a class on the lake this summer.  The instructor was doing all these incredible moves.  The students were staying much closer to the board and looking pretty doubtful.  But, it seems to be kind of a new thing.  It's always hard to look like the instructor when you're first starting out.

 

If it were me, I'd do the yoga on the shore and then go out for a paddle.  Because I know I'd just fall in.  Even in the core fit class in the gym I've been known to fall over.

 

But maybe there are fewer mosquitos out on the lake (?) and it's a way to be outside without being drained of blood.
