What is Stand Up Paddleboarding?
Stand Up Paddleboarding, or SUP, originated in Hawaii as an offshoot of surfing. Unlike traditional surfing where the rider rests on the board until a wave comes, stand up paddleboarders maintain an upright stance on their boards and use a paddle to propel themselves through the water. SUP can be enjoyed in the ocean and on lakes, rivers, and canals. A rapidly growing sport, SUP is a popular way to practice yoga and physical fitness.
I can not wait to paddle with you!
SUP Yoga: Float Your Asana!
As soon as I started paddleboarding eleven years ago, I immediately started practicing yoga postures on the board, as it seemed like such a natural thing to do—as a yoga teacher at least :)
SUP Yoga classes with JBYoga are an amazing way to experience the ancient practice of Yoga from a fresh perspective. Please know that you do NOT have to be an advanced Yogi or Yogini to check out this super fun and blissful floating Yoga experience. As highly experienced SUP Yoga guides, JBYoga teachers will move you through intelligently designed yoga sequences that strengthen and lengthen the major muscle groups, free the breath, and quiet the mind. While on the water, we will align with ourselves and the natural beauty that surrounds us. Classes may include chanting, meditation, and savasana with our hands resting in the water (ah, sweet surrender!).
PAST RETREAT RAVE REVIEWS
“In 2016, I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining Jessica’s SUP Yoga Teacher Training in the Hamptons. Jessica’s guidance, leadership and love left me feeling prepared, confident, and inspired. I consequently went on to teach SUP yoga to communities in NJ, PA and CA and it is one of the most FUN roles I’ve ever had the pleasure of holding. Thank you, Jess, for being one of my favorite teachers & hosting an experience that has left me forever changed.”
