Route Schematic
Route and Key Stops
The outing combines an on-board yoga practice with short paddles through the harbor and, depending on conditions, to nearby bay or the Åen area.
Arrival & Intro
Participants who haven’t tried SUP are asked to arrive early for an introduction to the boards and basic paddling techniques so they can join the main session confidently.
Guided SUP Yoga
The core of the outing is the guided yoga portion on the boards—instruction that lasts about 1.25 hours—where participants set up the formation and move through the practice on the water.
Paddle & Formation
The remainder of the time is spent paddling through the harbor and arranging the group into the Yogastjernen; weather determines whether the route extends to the bay or stays near Åen just past the first bridge.
No prior SUP or yoga experience is required; the format and instructor guidance are designed to welcome all levels, but participants should be able to move on and off a board in water and follow basic safety instructions.
