Do paddleboard yoga

“I found myself agreeing to do paddleboard yoga. It was weird hearing myself say yes, given I struggle to not fall over standing on flat, solid earth. [...] There was an initial challenge for me just getting the paddleboard to the right spot in the ocean. I wouldn’t say I’m a natural oarswoman, my tendencies are more sluglike. But after about a hundred episodes of veering left and veering right, I reached the others. Even though the spot they use for SUP yoga is at a few metres depth, the water is crystal clear and you can see little fishies swimming around as you do the practice. In fact I’m pretty sure I could hear them spitting bubbles at my downward dog attempts.”

“Yeah, that could help. I love yoga and paddle boarding and before I moved I used to do SUP yoga pretty regularly. Even already practicing yoga I was initially hesitant to go to a SUP yoga class that wasn't aimed more towards beginners. Being on a paddle board really changes the way different poses feel for me and so a beginner course felt like I had space to explore that and kind of get my sea legs.”
