Take your practice off the mat and onto the river: this two-hour SUP yoga class led by Miss Melanie Yoga begins with a beginner lesson on land, moves through a 10–15 minute warm-up paddle to an anchored practice spot where 45–50 minutes of on-board poses and savasana take place, then finishes with a gentle cool-down paddle back toward the launch at sunset. The lesson is offered to all levels and meets at the Lehigh River Rt. 33 D&L Trail Boat Launch off Freemansburg Ave between Bethlehem Township and Palmer Township, near the Southmont Shopping Plaza.

THE SETTING

Sunset practice on the Lehigh River

The class times are structured to include an anchored on‑board practice and a return paddle as the sun is setting, offering a calm riverside setting for balance work and breath.

THE TEACHING

All levels, with a land-based beginner lesson

Every session includes a beginner lesson on land so newer paddlers and novice yogis can learn basic paddle technique and board safety before heading out to the anchored practice spot.

THE LOGISTICS

Gear and anchor support for students

The operator provides necessary gear and anchors for all participants unless you bring your own; BYOB participants must follow launch permit and life‑jacket rules and should arrive early to prepare inflatable boards.

What the day feels like

What the two-hour flow feels like

The session moves deliberately: check‑in at the boat launch, a grounded land lesson to establish basics, a short 10–15 minute paddle to a chosen anchor point as a warm-up, an extended 45–50 minute on‑board yoga flow and savasana, then a gentle paddle back to the launch. Instruction is customized so participants with limited yoga or paddling experience can follow along.
