Ladies Surf and Yoga Workshop

 

Ladies Surf and Yoga Nights

Treetop Yoga and Cape Ann SUP + Surf Co are so excited to partner up to offer a THIRD lovely Ladies Surf and Yoga workshop to the community of Cape Ann. The water is still warm in September, and surf is usually awesome, so gather for one last beach day with your girlfriends and conclude on the mats for a flow and restore yoga class.
This workshop may push you outside of your comfort zone as you explore the complimentary activities of surfing and yoga in the same evening. We will meet at Good Harbor Beach Parking Lot to slide into wetsuits and then head for the surf.  The surf lesson will start with a brief on-land lesson to practice paddling, pop-ups, and cover a few safety precautions. Once we have answered everyone’s questions, we’ll head into the water! Everyone is learning. We ask that you come with an open-mind and a can-do attitude. It’s less about how “good you are” and more about “how much fun you are having.” After all, the best surfer in the water is always, always the one having the most fun. We will have multiple instructors in the water to give you pointers, help you into waves and teach you the best technique.
After surfing, we will lose the wet suit, head to Treetop Yoga to change into comfy yoga clothing and settle onto the mat for a recovery yoga class from the effort of surfing. The class will start with a traditional vinyasa flow class and standing poses, but we will eventually make our way to the floor to close with some restorative poses for the ultimate release.

Surfing 4:45 Arrival at Good Harbor Beach for check in and wetsuit fitting, 5:00-6:00 surf lesson

Yoga 6:30-7:45 at Treetop Yoga (3A Pond Rd, Gloucester)

Investment $45 (includes wetsuit and surf board)

Limited to 13, but can go above 13 for individuals who have own equipment (wetsuit and board)

*These workshops are definitely all weather dependent. Cape Ann SUP checks the weather and winds about 10x per day but, as we all know, things can change quickly here on Cape Ann. If for whatever reason we need to cancel the class, you will receive a refund and we will try to inform you at least a full hour before the start of class (Please leave your email and phone number so that we can contact you, if need be).

STAND UP PADDLEBOARD YOGA

This workshop is a two hour-on water SUP Yoga class. This class is open to all-levels regardless of yoga and/or paddling experience. We just ask that you are comfortable in- and around the water, even though many people end class as dry as they started it. To start the class, Anneliese will provide a mini on-land lesson to introduce people to the equipment and ensure that everyone feels comfortable using it. As a group, we will then paddle out to find a nice calm spot to hold class. The exact location depends on winds, weather and tides. Anneliese has been teaching this class for 6+ years so she knows the Gloucester harbor and Essex River like the back of her hand. Once there, will anchor up and Anneliese lead the group through the class. We’ll end with some yogi play and a relaxing savasana as we are rocked gently to the water beneath us.

Investment: $40 REGISTER HERE

There is a $10 discount for people who bring their own equipment (Board, Paddle, PFD, Leash)
