On the North East River, Kula SUP runs a 90‑minute SUP Yoga Flow from Bay Venture Outfitters that begins with a land‑based introduction to paddling and progresses through a short five‑to‑ten‑minute warm‑up paddle before anchoring the boards for a mellow, adaptable Vinyasa practice on the water.

Outing Highlights
A waterborne yoga class on the North East River
Participants launch from Bay Venture Outfitters and move into a gentle Vinyasa flow while anchored on their SUPs—the instructor guides adaptations so the class is accessible from first‑time paddlers to experienced yogis.
Land briefing, short paddle, then anchored practice
Class starts with on‑land instruction—paddling, turning, and fall‑recovery—followed by a five‑to‑ten‑minute paddle to warm up before anchoring down and moving through the yoga sequence.
All gear available or BYO with clear safety rules
Kula SUP supplies all equipment for the class (one price), or you may bring your own board at a different rate; if you bring your own gear you must also carry required USCG‑approved safety items.
What the day feels like
What the class feels like
The session unfolds as a calm progression: a focused on‑land primer, a brief paddle that loosens the body and connects breath to motion, then the group anchors and moves through a mellow, stabilizing Vinyasa flow where balance and the river’s presence—water lapping and cooling fingertips—become part of the practice.
