5 Reasons to Incorporate SUP Yoga into your Workout

 

SUP Yoga has been recognized as "the coolest new yoga trend" by Women's Health Magazine and proves to be a great workout balancing between ease and strength! The physical, mental and health benefits of incorporating SUP Yoga into your lifestyle are insurmountable. As you move and flow on your board on the ocean you will experience pure bliss fill your entire being. Here's why you should take your yoga practice off your mat and onto the water!

1.    There is no better way to get out if your head and into the present moment than to step off land and allow yourself to be supported by a new foundation, the vast wide open ocean. Leaving the comfort of what you know and breaking into a foreign space is where change happens. This is where freedom erupts and inspiration is found.

2.    The physical benefits outweigh any land workout. You will undoubtedly strengthen and tone your abdominals, obliques, biceps, triceps, shoulders, and even your feet. In order to stabilize and balance in the water, your muscles must engage and work hard giving you a fit physique you'll want to show off!

3.    You can tan while you workout! Imagine svasana while floating on the oceans surface as the waves roll beneath you and the sunbeams down on your peaceful body. Who's wouldn't want to experience this bliss?

4.    You will challenge yourself on a whole new level. SUP Yoga is a perfect way to cross train whether you are an experienced yogi, a fit athlete, runner, or a pro paddler. The board is constantly moving, the water is never predictable, and each class incorporates unique postures and breath work that will leave you craving more!

5.    Your endorphins will reach an all time high! The water and all of its magnificence has the ability to create shifts in thoughts, moods, and perspectives. Taking time to appreciate Mother Nature brings awareness back to your purpose of living on this beautiful Earth. Your body and mind will experience a natural high as you flow through yoga asanas with consciousness.

 

 

Take an epic chance! Get on a board, paddle out into the open sea and expand your active lifestyle to greater depths than you knew possible. Surrender your mind, body, and soul as you allow the waves of the ocean to support you fully.
