SUP Yoga
Restarting June 2022: We’re delighted to be offering SUP Yoga and SUP Tuition again this summer. Regular SUP Yoga classes will take place from WeSup Hamble River, at Mercury Yacht Harbour every other Thursday evening to coincide with the tides. Book here.
Paddle board tuition and adventures in association with Quroc Paddleboards and Adventure 360. Most sessions take place on the Hamble River, but adventures may take us along the coast or abroad!
In October 2016, I qualified as a SUP Yoga teacher with SupFit on Bray Lake and became brand ambassador for the top-rated Quroc SUP boards. SUP Yoga is the perfect blend of what I love the most – being outdoors in nature, being on the water and practicing yoga. In 2019, I also trained with the Water Skills Academy at SUP Bristol to become a foundation tutor for paddle boarding.
What is SUP Yoga?
Yoga on a stand-up paddle board (or SUP board) on a river, lake or sea. You are tethered to a line, buoy or anchor.
Why should you try SUP Yoga?
It’s fun! It adds a new dimension to your yoga practice.. or to your paddle-board experience if you’re a SUP-er. Practicing yoga on an unstable platform can also help improve your balance, strength and proprioception. And it’s great to be outside.
Will I get wet?
Possibly. But poses are done is stages, so you don’t even need to stand up if you’re not confident to. If you’re really worried, you can wear a wetsuit (available to hire). But the river is really warm in the summer!
Is it safe?
Yes! We do require that you’re confident that you can swim at lest 50 metres in light clothing. You’ll be on an inflatable SUP board that is super-buoyant, so if you do fall in, you can just grab hold of that. We’re also there to help in the unlikely event of a splash too.
Where do you do SUP Yoga?
Classes are currently held in a beautiful creek on the Hamble River, launching from WeSup at Mercury Yacht Harbour, where you can park for free.
How Do I book a SUP Yoga Class?
You can buy a class to include lesson and board hire, or bring your own board. Booking is done via WeSup Hamble River here.
Can I book a private session for a group of friends?
Yes. Groups of up to ten can be catered for. We can also offer a trip to include a paddle and SUP Yoga. This is done via Adventure360 – contact Lorna or Steve at Adventure360 to discuss dates, times and prices.
