With SUP yoga’s growing popularity, a SUP yoga teaching certification is a selling point for your yoga business, as well as an opportunity to spread the enjoyment of this amazing way of practicing yoga.
Combining SUP with Yoga Asana, Pranayama and Meditation, SUP Yoga is a unique Yoga practice that is becoming extremely popular around the world. SUP Yoga can be practiced on any calm water surface – ocean, lake, canal or even in a swimming pool, making it a flexible teaching option.
SUP builds core strength, balance and stamina – combined with Yoga poses the whole body and mind are challenged by intense focus, concentration and self awareness. The perfect meditation in motion, floating on the water.
While this unique practice often intrigues yoga instructors, many feel overwhelmed with the practical considerations of smoothly running a class. This course explores all these concerns, leaving students fully-equipped and confident to teach.
This SUP Yoga teacher training will offer 20 hours CEU from Yoga Alliance and will demonstrate your competence in handling a class of this nature to your prospective students.
We invite you to come join us on this two-day course. Be prepared to get wet, be prepared to have fun but most of all be prepared for an experience of a lifetime!
