Every year in fitness, there are new inventions that bring a fresh perspective to the ever-changing workout.

In the last sev­eral years, Stand Up Pad­dle Board Yoga has been one of those “inventions.” The board is your mat, and nature is your focal point.

The com­bi­na­tion of pad­dling to and from the practice loca­tion pro­duces a full-body work­out all while work­ing your core to avoid falling off the board.

Stand Up Pad­dle Board sizes vary in lengths and widths, which is depen­dent upon the weight and skill level of the indi­vid­ual. Typ­i­cally, the novice requires a longer and flat­ter board for sta­bil­ity.

Stand up pad­dle board yoga seems like an easy con­cept. Jump on the board, pad­dle and yoga. As with any out­door pur­suit, cer­tain skills and board mea­sure­ments are required to avoid injury and to stay upright on the board.  It is recommended for novice pad­dlers to prac­tice yoga on more calm water. The inflatable boards are also offering a safer practice since rubber will be more gentle than composite.

The ISUP boards are also more stable since they are offering bigger volume and most often equipped with a larger mat.

“Take your practice off the mat and onto the board.”
