This morning my friend Kelly and I went down to Town Lake and did some amazing paddleboard yoga. We didn't know what to expect, how the class would go, or really anything before getting started but by the end we were hooked and plan on going again soon.
The beginner class (this morning) is 90 minutes long. Even though it says beginner I would suggest that you've done yoga before in order to take the class because it's not as guided as a normal studio class. I think our instructor, Zach, had a certain plan for us but we had some more advanced ideas. In addition to getting used to the board we moved on to sun salutations, warriors, and I even succeeded in doing a headstand and wheel!
Some of the challenges were simple balance! Warrior one was probably the hardest because you aren't perfectly centered. It was awesome. The weather was also perfect with a nice breeze and some cloud cover.
The company we went through was called SUP ATX Yoga and they are doing complimentary classes the entire month of July so we're going to try and squeeze another one in. Our instructor was fairly sure that once a charge starts it'll be the standard $15 that comes with normal paddleboard rental.
I would highly suggest trying this out, it was SO much fun and such a new and different experience!
Yoga has been a new found love of mine and as I continue integrating it more and more into my workout regimen I've decided that I know nothing about it. The number of yoga teachers in Austin per capita is one of the highest in the country...so how is one supposed to know which is the best fit? I will be testing out via trial period the studios in Austin and keeping you in the loop as I go.
