Practise yoga in a new way with classes held on the calm waters of Formentera in Spain’s Balearic Islands. These sessions combine stand-up paddleboarding and yoga to help improve balance, focus, and strength while connecting you with the sea. Suitable for beginners, it’s a refreshing way to enjoy yoga outdoors.
The experience starts with a short paddle to reach the practice area surrounded by clear blue water. Once anchored, you’ll be guided through breathing exercises and gentle movements to find your balance on the board. The session gradually progresses through a series of yoga postures adapted for all levels, helping you strengthen your core and calm your mind.
After the physical practice, you’ll settle into a floating meditation, accompanied by soft voice and ukulele sounds. The combination of movement, music, and the natural rhythm of the sea creates a state of relaxation that lasts long after leaving the water. Each class is designed to promote mindfulness and body awareness while fully embracing Formentera’s beautiful environment.
Located in the Balearic Islands, Formentera is known for its clear turquoise waters and peaceful setting. Classes take place directly on the sea, where the water’s movement enhances the yoga experience. The island’s mild climate and gentle sea conditions make it a perfect place for SUP yoga throughout the summer.
Nearby you’ll find quiet beaches and local cafés, offering the chance to make a full day of your visit. With easy access from main routes, it’s an ideal activity for travellers seeking balance, connection, and time outdoors in one of Spain’s most scenic coastal locations.
No prior yoga or paddleboarding experience is needed. The sessions are beginner-friendly, and instructors provide clear, supportive guidance to help you feel comfortable and safe on the board.
Participants should be confident swimmers and comfortable in open water. The activity is not suitable for pregnant participants or anyone with injuries affecting balance or mobility.
These sessions were created from a deep love for yoga and the sea, offering a chance to experience both in harmony. Every class is designed to be inclusive, personal, and grounding, led by experienced instructors who value connection and mindfulness.
The small group sizes ensure each participant receives individual attention. With years of experience on Formentera’s waters, the team provides a relaxed and friendly atmosphere that highlights the island’s natural beauty.
No prior yoga experience is required. The class is open to everyone, whether you’ve never stepped on a yoga mat or practise regularly. Instructors give clear guidance for every move, ensuring you feel supported and confident from the moment you start. The pace of the class allows time to adjust and find balance, making it easy to follow even if it’s your first time.
For those with experience, practising on water brings a completely new level of focus and engagement. The subtle movement of the board forces you to stay present, enhancing balance and core control while deepening your awareness of each breath and posture.
Most participants find balancing easier than expected. The boards used are designed for yoga — they’re wide, stable, and have a non-slip surface to keep you steady. The instructor begins with basic techniques that teach you how to stand, kneel, and move safely, so you can relax into the experience without worrying about falling.
As the class progresses, you’ll build confidence and start to enjoy the gentle sway of the sea. Learning to flow with the water rather than resist it becomes part of the practice, helping you improve balance and coordination naturally.
You’ll need comfortable swimwear, sunscreen, water, and a towel. It’s best to wear clothing that allows easy movement and dries quickly. If you prefer, bring a rash vest or light top for sun protection.
Everything else, including paddleboards, paddles, and anchors, is provided for you. Bringing a change of clothes for after the session is recommended, and some people like to pack a snack to enjoy on the beach afterwards.
Yes, children aged 12 and over can take part as long as they’re confident swimmers and comfortable in open water. The instructor ensures that younger participants are given extra guidance and encouragement throughout.
Families often find it a fun way to spend time together while learning a new skill. The calm sea conditions and relaxed atmosphere make it ideal for family groups wanting to enjoy something different.
Safety always comes first. If the weather or sea conditions are unsuitable — such as strong winds or high waves — the session will be rescheduled to another time or refunded in full.
The team monitors forecasts daily and chooses the most sheltered areas to ensure calm conditions whenever possible. On rare occasions when the sea is too rough, you’ll be informed in advance so you can plan accordingly.
You don’t need to be very fit to join. The movements are slow and controlled, focusing on balance and body awareness rather than strength. Most participants find the class gentle yet surprisingly effective for building core stability.
If you already practise yoga or exercise regularly, you’ll find the water element adds a rewarding challenge. For those new to physical activity, the instructor offers modifications to make every pose accessible and comfortable.
Absolutely. All sessions are led by certified instructors with extensive training in both yoga and paddleboarding. Safety briefings take place before heading out, and participants are shown how to use the paddleboard confidently.
The boards are anchored to prevent drifting, and lifejackets are available upon request. The instructors also carry safety equipment and are experienced in handling varying sea conditions, ensuring every class remains secure and enjoyable.
It’s the combination of movement, nature, and music that makes this experience unlike any other. Practising yoga surrounded by the sea helps quiet the mind and heighten awareness, while the gentle motion of the board strengthens balance and focus.
Ending with a guided meditation set to live ukulele and voice brings a moment of calm connection with the surroundings. Many participants describe it as the highlight of their time on the island — a peaceful, grounding escape that stays with them long after.
