Stand Up Paddleboard Yoga and Fitness - Indoors
|
|
Ready to challenge your balance and core strength?
Looking to mix up your workout routine or try something new with your yoga practice?
SUP Yoga takes your yoga practice to an entirely different place -- on a paddleboard, in the pool. With our paddleboards, we create floating mats by tethering the boards to the lane ropes. We challenge and build core strength, practice balance and stability, and have fun moving through familiar poses and sequences in a less familiar setting.
SUP Fitness combines SUP yoga with strength and cardio conditioning to create an awesome total body workout. We tether the paddle boards to the lane ropes and use them as floating gyms for this one hour class. Expect to have a great time while we practice balance, build strength and challenge our stability.
SUP Yoga and SUP Fitness are suitable for all levels of ability. Participants should be comfortable getting in and out of the water.

Throughout the summer, I am happy to book indoors SUP classes for private groups.
I often rent lanes at the Orange County Sportsplex in Hillsborough, NC. However, I can travel to your aquatic center or private pool as well.

Stand Up Paddleboard Yoga and Fitness - Outdoors
Summer SUP season is here and SUP events are on the calendar!
See my Class Schedule page for all the latest, and register through Eventbrite.
I am also now booking for private group SUP Yoga sessions.
Private bookings of 5 or more participants are a great way to get out on the boards with your friends, colleagues, neighbors, or family at a time and date that works perfectly for you. I am happy to schedule a 2-hour, half day or full-day SUP outing or retreat.
Take a look at your calendar and contact me with some days and times.
SUPer fun and unique!
Take your yoga practice to a whole new place -- on a paddleboard on the water -- in a quiet cove on Jordan Lake in Chapel Hill, Pittsboro and other local bodies of water. Or challenge your body in a different way and change up your exercise routine with a cardio and resistance training workout on the board. Together we will paddle, practice yoga or rock some burpees, then relax and paddle some more.
No worries if you are new to paddleboarding or to yoga. We will spend time on SUP technique and paddling for about 15 to 20 minutes before heading to our yoga or workout spot, and we will practice poses for all levels of ability.
In both the yoga and fusion classes, there are options for staying lower to the board to gain confidence and balance. With time, we move to our feet and practice standing poses and other more challenging postures and exercises.
Classes range from 75 minutes to 90 minutes to 2 hours depending on the class format.

Get fit. Have fun. Be with friends and neighbors!
It’s cardio, it’s core, it’s intervals, it’s games, it’s strength, and it’s a great way to get fit.
Everyone is welcome to join in as we strengthen our bodies with weights, battling ropes, kettle balls, medicine balls, jump ropes, agility ladders, and our own body weight. The format varies week to week, and can include games, partner work, team efforts and individual exercises and interval training. You will work hard but you will also find yourself smiling and never looking at the clock. Time flies when you are having a great time!
I started my boot camps in my neighborhood in June 2011. After offering free camps for 1.5 years, I started charging a small fee at the insistence of my students. Five years later, my bootcamps are still affordable, focused on fun and efficiency, and conveniently located at I.T.S. Baseball Training Facility in Hillsborough, NC.

Weekend Warrior Boot Camp is offered on Saturday mornings at 7:00 am. Classes are held Indoors in winter and barring unseasonable conditions, outdoors in the spring, summer and fall. All levels of abilities are welcome to try boot camp. Even if you have never exercised or you are hesitant to try a new workout, come check us out. The hardest part of bootcamp is making the decision and effort to get to bootcamp…after that, the workout is just a really good time! Hope to see you soon. First class is always free.

TRX and More
|
Join me for a 45 - 60 minute class that is a total body workout. We use the TRX system for the majority of our workout. However, I have been known to throw in some kettle balls, medicine balls, battling ropes and hand weights. This is a class that is suitable for all levels of conditioning. The TRX system is a fabulous piece of equipment that enables every user to work at their own pace with their own levels of intensity. For more on TRX, see https://www.trxtraining.com/. I love TRX and I think you will too. TRX classes are held at I.T.S. Baseball Training Facility. For days and times when they are scheduled, see my Class Schedule page. First class is always free! .

Cardio/Core/Strength Bootcamp and Power Hour
|
Cardio and Core Bootcamp and Strength Bootcamp are both 60 minutes of fun, sweat, cardio, interval training, strength conditioning, core and flexibility training.
During the spring, summer, and fall months we meet outside, barring unseasonable conditions, and in the winter months we meet indoors. We use a variety of equipment ranging from hand weights to TRX to battling ropes to body weight. Typically on Mondays, we focus on cardio and core conditioning. On Wednesdays we focus on strength conditioning. My class on Fridays is called: Power Hour. This class combines 30 minutes of cardio intervals (often times we use the HIIT modality) and 30 minutes of flow yoga. It's a fantastic workout and a great way to end the week. |
No matter the day, though, you will work hard, smile, and feel like part of a strong team of people who are doing something good for their bodies and minds. We have a fantastic group of dedicated students and we would love to see you there too.
All of these workouts are located at I.T.S. Baseball Training Facility, Hillsborough, NC.

Pints and Poses - Yoga and Beer
|
Fitness can happen anywhere, even in a brewery!
I've teamed up with the fabulous people at Mystery Brewing Co, in Hillsborough, NC to offer "Pints and Poses" classes in the brewery. We meet every other Thursday, starting June 15, in the actual brewery, right where they make the beer. After a one-hour slow flow yoga practice in the brewery, we roll up our mats and head over to the tasting side for a pint of any of their fantastic beers. No registration needed. Bring a yoga mat if you have one, and $15.00 to cover the cost of the class and a pint of beer. |

Her attitude is contagious!
It took me close to 28 years to find a trainer who was capable of motivating me to get moving and change the path of my life regarding my fitness and health! When I did, it was not with a sledge hammer. She models and makes you feel like you are capable of achieving any fitness goal you have. Even if you don't know WHAT that goal is!

Warm, wonderful style
Doing SUP yoga enables you to use all of your core muscles for balancing on a paddle board. Maria has such a warm teaching style that when you do fall into the water everyone claps. Being one of the older participants, I can truly say this class is appropriate for all ages.
