SUP Yoga - if you're new to SUP, new to yoga or new to both, these sessions in Worcester and Cheltenham are perfect for you. Learn the gentle art of yoga on a stand up paddle board on these tranquil beginner lessons on the river or the lido.
Alex is your teacher and host for these paddle board yoga sessions. She is a dedicated yogi who is fully qualified to teach yoga and stand up paddle boarding, so you know you're in good hands for your lesson.
Of course, it's natural to wonder if you'll actually be able to do yoga on a board whilst floating on water. As Alex says, we are so much more capable than we think. So with the right gentle encouragement, you too will be able to reap the benefits of this holistic approach to well-being.
The settings for these yoga lessons afloat are just perfect. The crystal-clear, heated waters of Cheltenham's delightful Art Deco lido are inviting and lovely. For a more at one with nature feel, the SUP yoga sessions on the River Avon south of Worcester near Pershore are ideal. It's a calm and tranquil section of the river, surrounded by wildlife.
After onshore briefings, you'll get your boards out on the water. After paddling out to the anchor rig and attaching yourself (so you don't float away!), it's time to inhale, exhale and flow gently through a series of yoga poses and postures on your board for around an hour.
Group sizes for SUP yoga are kept to a maximum of 10, to ensure all sessions are calm, convivial and enjoyable. Alex is a wonderful host, mindful of any nervousness you may feel and really encouraging. We think it's time you gave SUP yoga a go!
