SUP Yoga

SUP Yoga is a yoga class on a Stand-Up Paddleboard. Practicing a gentle vinyasa flow outside giving you a perfect place to ground and reset. Our SUP class will be taught by Deanna Arecco, an RYT 500 YACE who began her yoga journey in 2017 becoming a certified yoga instructor from The Funky OM. After, Deanna continued with advanced training through Always at Aum, certifying her in Yin, Restorative, Kids and Chair Yoga as well as a Reiki Practitioner. Deanna took her practice to the water and became a certified SUP Yoga WPA class, 1 instructor.  Before she fell in love with yoga, Deanna taught kickboxing classes, assisted women’s self-defense seminars, and practiced MM. Deanna is the perfect person to give you the inspiration you need to work up to your potential on the water!  

The Class will begin with a short paddle on the water, then anchoring the boards and connecting your body and breath. This SUP Yoga class on the water will help with balance, core strength, and the ability to challenge yourself! Being on the water while practicing yoga helps with mindfulness and keeps you at the moment as the board bobs gently in the water.  Research has proven that being outside around nature and water naturally reduces levels of stress and anxiety, which makes our outdoor classroom the perfect place to practice yoga. This class is designed and modified for all levels of yogis! 

$50/attendee (includes one participant and one paddleboard rental for the 90min class)
