Stand Up Paddle Board Yoga Experience in the Sea. I will meet guests on the beach and provide wetsuits and boards if needed. I will explain how we do it first on the beach, we will get boards organised and sand bags. Then we paddle out to a suitable yoga spot on the sea where I will show you how to anchor up safely when we get there.

Once we are all set up I teach an hour yoga session floating on the water. It is suitable for complete beginners and intermediate level. People who are new to yoga and new to Paddleboarding will still enjoy the experience. It is a very relaxing, unique, holistic experience.
