WHY SUP YOGA IS SO GREAT!
Co-founder and Head of Yoga Jenny Stewart explains why she LOVES paddle board yoga. Taking your practise to the water is a beautiful way to connect with nature, the Isle of Wight, and have fun with friends.
Benefits of SUP Yoga:
Improves flexibility
The various poses used in yoga improve flexibility and increase mobility. Paddle-boarding also calls on a lot of different muscles and help to strengthen muscles. The two exercises combined offer a wide range of motion that works different areas of the body.
2. Improves your balance
Yoga poses focus on improving and maintaining balance. SUP yoga works well for improving balance because it requires a lot of balance to stay on a board while doing yoga poses due to the unstable surface underneath you!
3. Great core workout
Yoga poses that target the core area combined with the use of core muscles to stay afloat make for a great core workout.
4. Feel calm in nature
The sense of floating on the water can have a seriously calming affect. SUP yoga combines the peacefulness of the water with the stress reduction of regular yoga. The feeling of being close to nature by being out on the water also adds a calming effect. It’s the most beautiful feeling.
5. Empowering + Challenging
This is not an easy workout to complete. It takes hard work and patience as well as some skill, but when you achieve something it feels awesome.
6. It’s very fun!
It’s such a fab activity to do with family and friends. The wobbles (and maybe splashes) provide endless giggles and we always need some of that in our lives! PLUS another upside is that it really isn’t necessary to have a lot of experience with either yoga or paddleboarding in order to enjoy this.
