SUP Yoga
SUP Yoga Center
Though the classes offered at SUP begin on land, the majority of the personalized or group classes is spent on “floating mats” or paddle boards. Beginning with simple stretching and then paddling out to the designated spot are just a few things that make this form special. The occasional guests of sea turtles, dolphins, and manatees only serve to add a special element to this form of yoga.
