What is SUP yoga?
SUP yoga puts a yoga practice together with standing on a paddleboard out on the water.
It usually happens on lakes or still water, where you can work through breathing, balance and letting go.
Being out in the open helps you settle and come back to your own body.
It suits anyone after movement, the natural world and a bit of looking after yourself, all at once.
