Introduction to Paddleboard Yoga, Mindfulness & Meditation
Island Feather Paddleboard Yoga & Mindfulness are 45 minutes for up to 10 people. Our qualified instructors take you through a series of yoga poses on a 10-foot paddle board. Practicing yoga on a surface that is moving engages core muscles and strengthens other muscles which wouldn’t otherwise be used on the earth’s surface. SUP yoga also requires focus to transition between poses and to keep the board steady. Common asanas included in SUP yoga practice are downward-facing dog, the cat-cow combination, child’s pose and corpse pose. Whilst flowing through yoga poses, the sessions will take you though the present moment of your thoughts, feelings, the sounds around you & the sensations of breathing or parts of your body. Floating on a 10-foot paddleboard, in a natural environment, reap huge benefits to both your mind and body.
