Water Balance: Never the Same Yoga Workout
about Yoga on Paddleboard in Albania
In partnership with professional yoga practitioners and studios since 2016 we pioneered SUP Yoga sessions (Yoga on Paddleboards) which bring the Yoga experiences in a completely new level. Practicing Yoga on a SUP is fun and an additional challenge due to the added stability dimension of exercising over the water surface. Our home spot in Velipoje beach has flat water conditions that helps significantly to learn this new experience while sharing the fun with others
Several SUP Yoga sessions are held throughout the year, starting from March until October. We organize the SUP Yoga sessions with our instructors and in partnership with Yoga studios in Tirana, Montenegro and Kosovo

SUP Yoga provides amazing health benefits and complements stand up paddle sessions. SUP Yoga combined with SUP sessions increase immensely the endurance in legs, back, core, shoulders, and arms.
Our SUP Yoga sessions are usually combined with short SUP rides for an amazing workout challenge.
Our guests love to combine the morning SUP Yoga sessions with Yoga classes in the evening.
SUP Yoga Equipment
We use both inflatable and solid, state of the art SUP boards for our SUP Yoga session. The instructor has a ring-shaped platform around which all the boards are connected, ensuring stability and connectivity of the group with the instructor
All boards are suitable for SUP sessions after the Yoga experience
Strong core and Balance Exercise
Downward Facing Dog, Chair Pose, Warrior 1 and 2, Updog, Boat Pose, Vasistasana, Plank, Seated Twist, Savasana are among the common poses used during the session. Experienced users may try full Wheel or Handstand
Amazing results
Exercising yoga on the board that floats on the water engages the core muscles and strengthens other muscles which wouldn't otherwise be used on the mat. SUP Yoga requires intense focus between poses to keep the board steady. This helps a lot to improve the yoga performance
fun and healthy
Fall on the water and it's just...water. No hard crashes, but lots of fun to be shared with the group and your family or friends admiring you from the shore or through the pics you share
