Stand-up Paddleboard Yoga Teacher Training
Mutiple programs in 2023!

Since ancient times, humans have naturally gravitated to the water for its healing and transformational properties. Many ancient cultures believed that the water element was crucial to balancing the body and finding physical harmony. Today, many of us still flock to the water, especially in the summer, to find clarity and to calm the mind. Even when we are not near a beach or a lake, we take long showers or warm baths to relax and find ease in the mind and body. It makes sense that teaching yoga on the water is becoming more popular. Join us this season to learn how to effectively transition your clients asana practice to the water, while soaking-up sunshine and immersing in nature.
