A chance to explore the boundaries of our stability out on the beautiful water at the Cotswold Water Park near Cirencester.
Aimed to challenge anyone’s existing yoga practise, and build firm foundations to ignite further explorations back on dry land.
This session will invite you to lead with a sense of curiosity, be ready to dismiss any preconceived ideas about what yoga on water will be like and notice how even the environment can affect our body and breath.
Never have I focused so much, laughed so hard or left a session completely dry…
Bring your sense of fun and adventure. Smiles and laughter will be doled out liberally throughout.
Practical Info :
90 mins of SUP Yoga and paddling. A practise designed to minimise dunks. SUP hire is included in the £30 booking fee (SUP, paddle and buoyancy aid). Buoyancy aids must be worn during the paddling.
* Pricing :
Please note the price of £30 includes hire of SUP, paddle and buoyancy aid, if you don't require hire, rather than book via this page, please drop us an email to studio@orangeyoga.co.uk to book a place for £18.
* Arrival, Parking & Departure :
When you arrive, park on the field. If ground is sodden the field will be out of bounds. Find space on hard standing/ gravel.
Kathy will be parked in bay 17 - you’ll see a "Happiestwhenoutdoors" flag and we must meet here... Kathy will be there 15 mins before class starts. Unless the ground is sodden then you’ll find the van on the gravel (Black VW Transporter van).
For Those Hiring :
Boards are to be collected from bay and returned to bay after the session please.

Session will be cancelled if there’s thunder storms. We still practise in the rain!
If this event is cancelled due to strong, stormy winds or heavy rain, then alternative dates will be offered.
What To Bring / Wear :
Bring suitable non cotton clothing and change of clothes (yes, yoga clothing. Anything quick drying ).... waterproof perhaps if rain. Bobble hat possibly. Wetsuit if you feel the cold. Even a fleece top in a plastic bag would work on your board just in case of a dunking....😬

About Kathy :
Hello, I’m Kathy, a Mum with four kids and 2 naughty Spaniels who is ultimately happiest when outdoors, chasing views, experiences and adventures.
Busy life but love it. I've always been an active person and love getting outdoors. Keeping active becomes a challenge when life throws us stressful curve balls and you've little kids at home. Yoga came just at the right time. It gave me time to pause, to move and to learn to acknowledge my everyday. I loved it all so much, I made the decision to learn more, and become a yoga teacher. From teaching yoga, I expanded into the outdoors, became a SUP instructor and started teaching SUP Yoga over 4 years ago.
As the kids get older (they range in age from 23 down to 15), I’ve found I have more time on my hands to do little things for me, meet friends for small and big adventures. In 2019 I completed a SUP trip of 100 miles down the River Wye over 4 days with like minded individuals. It was a challenge to SUP with all our kit onboard our SUPs, camp at sites right by the river, and not something I’ve done before. 2019 saw me start trips out in Croatia, combining sailing, SUP and yoga, and 2021 gave me the chance to explore Scotland a little, the Menai Straits and Anglesey.
2022 was a big travel year. Biggest yet personally. Hiking in Switzerland, Wales and Kilimanjaro, and a SUP trip in the Norwegian fjords. Commercially ran trips in the Lake District and Great Glen trail in Scotland.
** PRACTICAL BITS **
Due to the nature of the Crescent Bakery building, it's ideal to wear layers of clothing for cooler / warmer fluctuations.
