Last week I was substitute teaching yoga for a dear globetrotting friend of mine. There were about 10 students in the class, sun was shining in the studio and all seemed in balance. Or was it. Just a few moments into our Sun B series, I noticed 3 people, literally losing balance and wavering on their mat. Mercury in retrograde you say? Or are we trying so hard to be in control, that we stiffen up and force our balance.
That is what fascinates me about SUP yoga. And perhaps golf 🙂 The harder you try to hold your pose, the more unstable your feel. With golf, the harder I swing – the shorter distance my ball goes. In any case, breathing and calling upon the true flow (aka vinyasa ) of yoga, you are able to ride the wave. That wave maybe as simple as a SUP board on the water, or that wave maybe as complex as the ups and downs of life. If you do take to water, there isn’t much to be afraid of. Unless of course your are the wicked witch and fear of melting if you get a little wet
Fear not and find out what it is all about. Here is a sweet little article about SUP
