Imagine yourself gently floating on calm water…
The soft ripple of the estuary beneath your board.
Warm sunlight on your skin.
Fresh Devon air filling your lungs as you move slowly through your practice.
This is the magic of Stand-Up Paddle Board Yoga – and it is one of the most joyful, freeing ways to experience yoga in nature.
At Simply Soulful Yoga, my aim is always to help you smile on the inside – and SUP yoga has a beautiful way of doing exactly that.
A Truly Special Setting in Kingsbridge
Kingsbridge offers the perfect peaceful waters for this unique and uplifting practice. Nestled in the heart of the South Hams, the calm estuary creates an ideal environment for both beginners and experienced yogis to enjoy yoga on the water.
There is something wonderfully calming about being surrounded by nature while gently floating – it invites you to slow down, tune in, and fully arrive in the moment.
SUP yoga is not about perfection or staying perfectly dry… it is about playfulness, presence, and enjoying the experience.
Why Try Stand-Up Paddle Board Yoga?
SUP yoga combines the mindful benefits of yoga with the gentle challenge of balancing on water. The result is a practice that feels both grounding and energising at the same time.
Through Simply Soulful sessions, yoga blends movement, breath and awareness to support both physical and emotional wellbeing. When we take the practice onto the water, the benefits deepen even further.
Physical Benefits
✨ Builds core strength naturally
✨ Improves balance and coordination
✨ Strengthens stabilising muscles
✨ Enhances flexibility and mobility
✨ Encourages deeper breathing in fresh air
Even simple poses become more engaging as your body gently responds to the movement of the board.
Emotional & Mental Benefits
✨ Deeply calming for the nervous system
✨ Boosts confidence and focus
✨ Encourages mindful presence
✨ Brings a sense of freedom and fun
✨ Helps release everyday stress
Many people are surprised by just how peaceful floating yoga feels. There is often laughter, sometimes a splash, and always a wonderful sense of achievement afterwards.
Perfect for Beginners and Curious Adventurers
One of the most common things I hear is: “I’d love to try… but I’m not sure I’m balanced enough!” Please don’t worry. Simply Soulful SUP yoga sessions are:
✔ Beginner friendly
✔ Fully guided and supportive
✔ Calm and unhurried
✔ Focused on enjoyment over perfection
You do not need to be:
A paddle board expert
Highly flexible
Super strong
Or completely confident
You simply need a willingness to try something new and enjoy the experience.
What to Expect at a Kingsbridge SUP Yoga Class
Each session is carefully designed to help you feel safe, supported and relaxed on the water.
Your experience typically includes:
A gentle welcome and safety guidance
Time to get comfortable on your board
Slow, accessible yoga movements
Options for all levels
Moments of stillness to soak up the calm
A deeply relaxing floating relaxation
And yes… falling in is always optional (and whilst rare, often brings the biggest smiles!).
A Beautiful Way to Support Your Wellbeing
In our busy modern lives, we rarely give ourselves permission to truly switch off and play. SUP yoga offers something a little different:
Movement that feels joyful
Nature that soothes the nervous system
Fresh air that energises
Water that naturally calms the mind
A supportive, friendly atmosphere
Whether you are visiting South Devon, staying locally, or looking for a new way to refresh your practice, this experience is something truly special.
