SUP Yoga Halifax is a new addition to Canada's fitness community that really puts an emphasis on balance. Rather than hosting its yoga classes in a studio environment, SUP Yoga Halifax makes the most of Canada's beautiful East Coast.
In place of a yoga mat, yogis use standing paddleboards to perfect their balance on the open water. Yoga instructor and SUP Yoga Halifax owner Grace Stolarz describes that: "The way the weather has been going, you don’t get that much time to be outside, so when you do people just want to be exploring." With one-hour classes, people of all fitness levels are able to spend plenty of time outside, while enjoying the challenge of yoga and being on a paddleboard at once.
In the hopes of appealing to new consumers, combination fitness activities like this one win at delivering the best of two worlds.
