Key Details Location: Arden Sailing Club, West Midlands Duration: 1.5 hours Group size: Up to 8 participants Minimum age: 16 (under 16s welcome with a guardian) Experience level: Beginners welcome—no previous SUP or yoga experience required What to Expect Sessions begin at Arden Sailing Club, where you'll have a chance to settle in, meet the group, and chat through any questions. Once everyone is ready, there's a short land-based briefing covering the basics of stand-up paddleboarding, along with essential safety tips. Even if you’ve never been on a board before, you'll be guided step-by-step to help you feel confident and comfortable. You’ll then enjoy a gentle paddle downstream, either kneeling or standing—whichever works best for you. Once in position, you’ll anchor your board and ease into a 45-minute guided yoga session. The class includes clear demonstrations and multiple options for each posture so you can practise at your own pace. The experience closes with a floating shavasana, a chance to lie back on your board and simply breathe with the natural surroundings. After the main session, there’s time for optional extra practice, swimming, or a few relaxed photos on your board. Then it’s back to the clubhouse to change, shower, and head home—refreshed, calm, and maybe already planning your next session. Location SUP Yoga sessions take place on a quiet and sheltered stretch of the River Avon, based at Arden Sailing Club near the village of Defford in the West Midlands. The area is known for its gentle flow and beautiful riverside views, offering a perfect setting for slow movement and mindful moments. There’s ample parking on site, basic changing facilities, and space to relax before or after your session. The location is easy to reach from Worcester, Evesham, and surrounding areas, making it a popular spot for those looking to try paddleboarding in a supportive and scenic environment. Prerequisites This session is open to all levels, including complete beginners.

No experience is needed for either paddleboarding or yoga. The session is designed with beginners in mind, and we’ll start with a land-based introduction where you’ll learn the basics of how to balance, paddle, and move safely on the board. During the yoga class, you’ll be guided with clear instructions and options to suit all ability levels. Whether you’re new to both or just one element, you’ll be fully supported throughout. ### What should I wear for a SUP Yoga session? You’ll want to wear light, quick-drying gym clothes or a swimming costume—something that won’t restrict your movement and will feel comfortable if it gets wet. On cooler days, layers of tight-fitting activewear are recommended instead of a wetsuit, as wetsuits can be quite restrictive during yoga poses. Bring a towel, a full change of clothes, and something warm for after the session. Also, consider a hat, sunscreen, and a bottle of water, especially on hot days. ### What happens if I fall in the water? Falling in is part of the experience, and it happens to everyone at some point! The water where we practise is calm and shallow in most areas, and you'll be wearing a buoyancy aid for the entire session. Alex, your instructor, is an experienced SUP Yoga teacher and open water swim coach, so your safety is always the priority. If you do fall in, we’ll help you back on your board with no fuss—it’s all part of the fun. ### Is the session still on if it’s raining? Yes, sessions go ahead in light rain—some people even find it quite peaceful. If it’s forecast to be wet, bring a light waterproof (like a pac-a-mac) to stay warm before and after the session. The only time a session would be cancelled is in extreme weather conditions, such as high winds or lightning, in which case we’ll contact you as early as possible to reschedule or offer a refund. ### How long is the yoga portion of the session? The yoga class itself lasts around 45 minutes. You’ll spend the first 15–20 minutes going through a paddleboarding and safety briefing on land, followed by a gentle paddle on the river before anchoring in place for the yoga practice. After the yoga, there’s time for optional extras like swimming, trying out more postures, or taking photos before heading back to the clubhouse. ### Is there somewhere to change or shower after the session? Yes, there are basic changing and shower facilities available at Arden Sailing Club. You’ll be able to dry off, get changed, and freshen up before heading home. It’s still a good idea to bring a towel and dry clothes for after the session, especially if you get wet during the paddle or yoga class. ### Do you have a minimum number of participants for this session? Yes – we usually require a minimum of 2 people for this session to go ahead. If you're booking solo, don’t worry. We’ll get in touch to discuss options and do our best to join you up with another group or an existing session that suits your availability. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-09-144708.png - **Gallery image count**: 13 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
