Get grounded for confidence in arm balances and inversions. It's all in the set-up and in how we knowledgeably and gradually prepare for the pose! This workshop is for those wanting to further explore arm balances and inversions and for those who love them! In this SUP Yoga workshop we will shift perspective as we take our yoga practice to the water for a journey and adventure in the foundations and preparations for arm balances and inversions. We will explore poses that will both strengthen and prepare ourselves for flight. Proper and basic shoulder alignment will be established and built through simpler poses and carried onward to full arm balances and sustainable inversions. Students and teachers will be guided through a fluid and challenging sequence on the water that will prepare the foundation necessary to practice these poses with ease and freedom.
In this fun, refreshing, dynamic, and all-levels SUP Yoga Workshop you'll be transported to a fluid and easeful plane of practice and being to explore and take part in the beauty of yoga on the water. We will enjoy floating through our nature-inspired practice in a nourishing and sustainable manner. We'll challenge ourselves to shift our perspective as we take our yoga practice from the mat and land to the water and flow with grace, mindfulness, and strength.
Vans will shuttle us 12 minutes each way to and from Elk's Lake in Mountain Village. Total time on the water is approx. 1 hour 15 minutes.
GENERAL SUP YOGA INFO
Whether you are new to yoga or an advanced yoga practitioner, SUP Yoga provides an inclusive, rejuvenating, and fun new spin on the traditional yoga practice! It allows us to combine the physicality of Stand Up Paddle boarding and the beauty and elements of nature and floating on the water with the peace, presence, playfulness, and meditative aspects of our yoga practice. SUP Yoga provides a unique opportunity to explore our asana, pranayama, and meditation practices, while building new confidence and community on the water.
We‘re able to experience a total communion and connection with nature in a safe, accessible, relaxing, and meditative environment. It allows us to become more in tune with our yoga practice, our breath, and our sense of balance on the board, and in each asana. The confidence and courage we develop on the water and in our practice translates far beyond the paddleboard and mat and can positively affect our lives and our community in so many powerful ways. Let the water be your yoga mat and leave feeling confident, refreshed, and empowered!
Students first learn the basics of SUP by becoming familiar with mounting the board, paddle stroke and core stabilization. Once anchored, class begins with pranayama and meditation to integrate the pranic movement of the water element into the practice, followed by low center of gravity poses and continuing further into a vinyasa practice from there. **For those interested, session will end with photos of you in your favorite poses on the board so you have a memory to take home with you.
Please bring hat, swimsuit, water wicking layers or yoga clothes you like to practice in, water, and sunscreen.
