Join us any of the experiences we offer. Classes include dry land SUP demo that will review the equipment and basic paddling technique. Once on the water we will warm up with a 10 min paddle. Then, SUP yogis will take their yoga poses to a new level while floating and enjoying the elements around them. Other classes include a beautiful moonlight paddle board experience at Highline Lakes State Park. Boards will be lit up with lights and we will paddle under the moonlight. We will listen for and observe the natural elements around us, meditate and and enjoy each other’s company.
