Looking for something to do during the colder months?
Come try something fun and different by practicing yoga on a paddleboard.
No experience needed. This all levels class starts with the most stable postures and adds on optional layers of difficulty to give you the right mix of challenge and success. Have fun, move, improve balance, and gain a greater awareness of your body as you connect to the muscles used in stabilization.

Attended the SUP Yoga at EPIC pool, Jessica was awesome and this new aspect definitely challenged my practice! I spent more time yoga'ing and less time swimming than I expected. Overall it was great fun. Can't wait for warmer weather to try it outside!
