Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) Yoga...anyone tried it?

[osulori]

I got a wild hair up my butt and signed up for a free SUP yoga class being put on by one of the local LLL stores in a couple of weeks.  If anyone's tried it, be honest...is this going to kick my ass?  I'm woefully out of practice, yogawise.

And the most important question-who wants to place bets on how long it takes for me to fall off my boat and into the water?  It's a 50 minute class.  I'm going with 15 mins.  maybe 20.

Please recap your experience! This is something I have always wanted to do and our REI is putting on a class, but I am too chicken to sign up.

I have a friend how tried it -- I think it was her first go at SUPing and true yoga?
She wrote about it here -- hub.sierratradingpost.com/sup-yoga/

Oh super fun! I've never been to a formal class, but we have a couple of boards and so H and I try some poses out on our own. I have fallen plenty of times, but also surprise myself sometimes! It's a bit more core-intensive.

I tried SUPing for the first time this weekend and have to say that I can't imagine doing yoga on it and not falling immediately! I am admittedly not great at yoga though. I can see how it would intensify the poses!

Not formally, but definitely did some poses when I was in Mexico recently and took the boards out. It was a really fun challenge. The hard part is doing the asymmetrical poses, obviously. I actually managed a crane pose.

This sounds right up my alley- I've never done it but I love yoga (but stink at it) and I love the water.
Can't wait to hear about your experience!

I love it. I've done it a lot. Like once a week. I even got to be in a video out instructor made to promote it. I've fallen in but that's what is fun about it. You just get back on and keep going. I have a few pics I'll see what I can up load when I get home from work later.

I'm dying to try this. I'm so far inland that it's such a pain in the ass to get to a class! One day...

Have a blast! Report back too!

I want to hear how it goes. There is a class every week across the street from my house, but of course it is at like 10AM on Tuesdays.

[osulori]

Oh I will be reporting back for sure. If I'm really lucky someone will take pictures of me making an ass out of myself

I have been wanting to do this forever - I'm so jealous! Two thumbs down for living in rural Ohio sometimes.
