Before the session begins, our certified instructors provide an optional introduction to paddleboarding for those who are new to the sport. You’ll learn how to position yourself on the board, maintain balance, and paddle with confidence before transitioning into the yoga practice. Once anchored in place, the class starts with mindful breathing and a gentle warm-up, easing into postures that promote flexibility, strength, and relaxation.
After the guided session, enjoy an extra hour of complimentary paddleboard rental, allowing you to explore Lake Mead at your own pace.
