Day 7 – Balance<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUP Yoga (stand up paddle boarding)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may recall that I had taken the SUP board out previously as I tried to learn to stand on it without falling off – using what I had learnt through grounding<\/strong>. When we went out at 7:30am that Friday morning to do Yoga on a SUP board I was fully prepared to fall off into the freezing water.<\/p>\n\n\n

We took the SUP boards out and tied them to a rope (to ensure that we all stayed together) – facing Ela for instructions. The experience was amazing – and I did not once fall off! I actually found doing yoga on SUP boards really useful because it made sure that I was more aware of my positioning so that I didn\u2019t fall off. It was also really relaxing being gently rocked by and listening to the sound of the waves – especially when doing child\u2019s pose. To do the whole class without falling off was also deeply rewarding and great for self-achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This session helped to give energy back to the body. Throughout the Yoga Retreat props had been used to make things easier, and put our bodies in the best positions for each individual. This session had extra props to really show their benefit – including how to massage yourself. I found the strap the most useful and it helped ease the tension out of my shoulders really well. This class was so relaxing that I may have fell asleep in it!<\/p>\n\n\n
