Liquid Edge Yoga

Our group practices SUP yoga on local lakes. You don’t have to be an experienced yoga practitioner or anything; we’re all just practicing! 💛

While being an experienced practitioner is not required, prior yoga experience is recommended. If you have never practiced yoga, I recommend signing up for some local classes (i.e., Sol Yoga in Frederick is AWESOME!) and then coming out to join us.

It is recommended that you have minimal experience paddling on flat water. If you don’t have SUP paddling skills, there are intro to paddling events in this group and I also recommend Capital SUP for lessons if the events in here don’t align with your schedule).

You must be able to swim.

Equipment needed:
SUP,
Paddle,
Anchor on a rope with a carabiner to attach to SUP (can use a 3-5 lb weight instead of an anchor),
Waterproof bag for keys, phone, etc,
& Drinking water

There is no cost for classes, but there are fees for the lakes.

You must have your own equipment to participate or be able to independently rent your own equipment.
