A 75‑minute all‑levels class that pairs yoga with stand up paddleboarding to intensify balance, core strength and meditative focus.
Sunset SUP Yoga: A 75‑Minute Practice That Puts Your Mat on the Water.
On a paddleboard as the city light softens, yoga takes on a new grammar: subtle micro‑corrections to balance, breath that steadies not just the posture but the board beneath you, and a practiced stillness amplified by water and sky. This Sunset SUP Yoga session is a 75‑minute class that moves from a brief on‑land orientation to an extended guided practice and closes with savasana — a contained lesson in strength and calm that suits a wide range of abilities.

Yoga on a Paddleboard — Focused, Fluid, Demanding
The class blends stand up paddleboarding and yoga to increase balance and core strength; the board becomes an unstable surface that intensifies traditional yoga poses while the water amplifies the meditative elements of the practice.
A Compact 75‑Minute Flow From Lesson to Savasana
Sessions run 75 minutes and include both an on‑land orientation and an on‑water lesson before the full yoga class, designed to take participants from setup through a complete practice ending with savasana.
All Levels — No SUP Experience Necessary
Classes are open to all levels: no prior SUP background is required, though some yoga experience is recommended. Equipment is provided, and BYOB spots can be reserved for those bringing their own gear.
