Wet'n'Dry SUP - SUP/Paddleboard Yoga classes in Essex

Wet’N’Dry SUP/Paddleboard Yoga

What is it?

SUP Yoga is taking your yoga practise onto a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) instead of a yoga mat.

Why?

It’s great FUN! It also increases the use of all your stabilising muscles as you feel every muscle engage to help keep your body balanced and stable on the board, while the water moves beneath you. This helps improve your focus and technique. Now combine this with being surrounded by nature and you will heighten your whole mind, body and soul connection.

Who?

SUP Yoga is for everyone from beginners looking to try something new to experienced yogis who want that extra challenge as poses and classes can be tailored to your ability, so no previous yoga experience or SUP experience is needed. It is an advantage though to learn the basic stand-up paddleboarding skills first, maybe with a Wet’n’Dry SUP Ready to Ride course, as this will give you a feel for being on a board.

Where?

Ssshhhhhh! We have a secret spot, exclusive to Wet’n’Dry Boardsports. So as well as being surrounded by the peace and tranquillity of nature you will have complete privacy to allow you to have the confidence to try the yoga poses and to unplug from the day-to-day stress and tune into your inner primitive rhythms, feeling the morning sun on your skin, a gentle breeze on your face and maybe the water on your toes.

For more experienced SUP paddlers and yogis we may also arrange other SUP Yoga sessions on the ocean, although these are subject to tides and weather conditions.

What shall I wear?

What do you wear for SUP Yoga? Depending on the time of year and weather conditions, SUP yoga can mostly be practised in normal yoga clothing – though be prepared you may fall in. At other times of year, summer type wetsuits can be worn.

When?

Friday evening practice – From 6:00 to 8:00pm ther perfect way to start your weekend.

Saturday morning Sessions – from 10:00 to 12:00 – we allow a 2-hour window as this allows for a 1-hour SUP yoga class, but this involves transport to and from the secret spot. As well as giving you time to unwind and get into your weekend, SUP Yoga shouldn’t be rushed.

Midweek Sunrise sessions & sunset sessions are currently being planned. Please register you interest in these with us so that we may get some started.

How much?

Each Class is £30 – This includes board hire, wetsuit and buoyancy aid hire if needed and exclusive use of private lake for yoga session though sunshine isn’t guaranteed.
