In addition, you have to pay more attention to your balance, which stimulates the muscles in your body. So you can see it as a full body work-outbut on the water. Yet it does not feel like a work-out, because it is very relaxing.

What do you need to do yoga on a SUP?

This is because an inflatable board is (almost) always more stable than a hard board. The thicker the board, the more solid and stable it will be. An inflatable board with a reasonable thickness is therefore perfect for the combination of supping with yoga.

In addition to needing a suitable board, it is important that you also have a good yoga technique.
