COURSE CONTENT & CERTIFICATION
Interested in becoming a certified SUP yoga instructor? Join us for SUP YOGA UK’s teacher training. You’ll learn everything you need to know to safely lead a SUP yoga class, and how to get started with your own SUP Yoga business or join our team at St Katharine Docks – central London’s floating yoga studio!
COURSE CONTENT
This course is primarily focussed on practical learning. There is a strong emphasis not only on the physical practice but on being a confident paddler, creating a safe lesson space and essential planning such as risk assessments and hazard awareness. This is a very physical course and will include not only yoga practice but paddling, moving boards around on land and in the water and also self-rescue and supported rescue.
