SUP Yoga classes
Experience Yoga on the Water
​
This summer, take your yoga practice to the next level with SUP Yoga – a unique way to connect with the beauty of the Yorkshire countryside and coast while challenging your muscles in a whole new way. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or new to both yoga and paddleboarding, our SUP Yoga classes offer something for everyone.
​
What is SUP Yoga?
Stand-Up Paddleboard (SUP) yoga combines the tranquility of yoga with the calm, refreshing waters of the Yorkshire coast. It’s a full-body workout that enhances balance, strength, and flexibility, all while surrounded by stunning natural beauty. It’s not just a class—it’s an experience!
​What to Expect:
We provide everything you need for your SUP Yoga session, including a yoga-specific paddleboard and paddle. The only thing you need to bring is your wetsuit—just in case you take an unexpected dip! Don’t have your own wetsuit? No worries! You can easily hire one from most of the local surf schools.
​
When you join us for a SUP Yoga class, we’ll begin with a brief introduction to the equipment and a quick refresher on paddle technique and self-rescue methods. This ensures you feel confident and safe before we paddle out to the perfect spot. Once we’ve anchored up, your yoga practice will begin, guided by our experienced instructor, Helen.
​
After class, we’ll paddle back to shore, completing a relaxing yet invigorating experience that lasts around 90 minutes.
​
Your Instructor:
Helen, your instructor for SUP Yoga, has completed specialist SUP Yoga teacher training and is a qualified WSA SUP Instructor. She also holds the WSA SUP Safety & Rescue qualification and is a certified SLSGB Surf Lifeguard, so you’re in safe hands. With her expertise, you can enjoy your session with peace of mind and focus on your practice.

It’s also a wonderful option for those who might not feel ready for a group class or want to focus on deepening their practice in a way that’s just right for them.

Indoor Classes
At Happy Seal Yoga, we offer a variety of indoor yoga classes designed to suit your mood, energy level, and experience. Whether you're looking for a dynamic, breath-driven flow or a calming practice that targets deeper connective tissues, we have classes that cater to both your body and mind.
​
Vinyasa Flow Yoga
​
Our Vinyasa Flow classes are designed to link breath with movement in a fluid, dynamic sequence of postures. As you flow from one pose to the next, you'll build strength, flexibility, and mental clarity. Vinyasa is perfect for those who love to move, challenge their bodies, and cultivate a sense of balance and focus. Expect an energizing practice that helps you develop both physical and mental resilience.
​
Yin Yoga
In contrast, our Yin Yoga classes focus on a slower, more meditative approach. By holding seated and floor postures for 3-5 minutes, Yin yoga targets the body’s deep connective tissues, such as ligaments, joints, and fascia. This practice is ideal for releasing tension, improving flexibility, and encouraging relaxation. Yin yoga offers a restorative experience that complements more active forms of exercise.
​
