What to expect

Copacabana stand-up paddle yoga session

You experience Rio de Janeiro's iconic coastline from the water as you practice yoga directly on a stand-up paddle board off Copacabana. The format combines yoga, SUP, and mindfulness into one continuous flow on the sea.

Features

• A guided yoga session on a paddle board is adapted to the board's surface so you can move through postures while floating on the water, turning each pose into a balance exercise above the sea.
• Complete stand-up paddle equipment is provided for you, including the board you will use throughout the experience, so you can focus on the session without bringing your own gear.
• Before heading further out, an initial SUP instruction and safety briefing covers basic paddling techniques and how to stabilize yourself during the yoga segment on the board.
• Throughout the class, breathing and mindfulness exercises are woven into the sequence, helping you focus on your breath and the movement of the water around Copacabana.
• A professional yoga instructor stays close to the group, offering assistance throughout the experience so you can adjust poses and feel supported on the paddle board.
• The approximate duration of 1.5 hours allows time for instruction, paddling, and the full yoga practice on the water without rushing any part of the session.
