KOAN Wellness Information

www.koanwellness.com The beginner-friendly sport of standup paddleboarding was born in the 1940s when Hawaiian surfers stood on boards and navigated their way through the waves with a long paddle. Standup paddleboard yoga (or SUP yoga, as it’s known to its devotees) is asana practiced on 10- to 12-foot-long boards in the most serene of settings: an ocean bay, a glassy lake, even a slow-moving river. In recent years, water-loving yogis have embraced SUP yoga as a practice that brings a sense of joyful freedom to an otherwise earth-bound yoga practice. Practicing yoga on a SUP brings a whole new perspective to being fully present in the moment. Yoga poses create a new challenge while floating, requiring full awareness, acceptance of mother natures mood and of course a sense of humor! Cost is $40/class or multipack classes available, 5 classes for $150. Includes board, paddle, safety equipment, lesson and picture. Have your own board? Drop-in for $20/class Private sessions available by request! Birthday outings, shower-day mornings, team-building, romantic paddles and more. Schedule by calling 207-752-4514.
