MIND
Did you know that SUP (Stand Up Paddle board) yoga invites us to become aware of the movement of the elements and our bodies, while maintaining our balance on the board requires deep inner stability?
Meanwhile, the water itself naturally activates our “theta” brain waves, bringing our mind into a meditative state.
The atmosphere around water contains negatively charged ions, which elevate serotonin (a mood-booster hormone), relieving stress, soothing depression, and boosting energy.
Combined, these qualities can make SUP yoga a truly transformative experience.
- From the SUP Yoga manual
"Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall; it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that my child. Remember you are half water. If you cannot go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does." - Margaret Atwood |
