Paddleboard Yoga

A fun way to bond as a couple is to try something new and outside of your comfort zone. Once you’re comfortable with yoga on land, hop on a paddleboard for a true test of balance. Here are a few places around town to give it a try:

LAKE LIFE PADDLE
When: Select dates
Where: Locations and events vary
Cost: $75, varies depending on event

Start your day with yoga and meditation followed by a complimentary mimosa. Lake Life Paddle leads periodic paddle board yoga classes throughout Orlando. The class is appropriate for all levels. You must sign up in advance to reserve your spot and board rental. 

WAVE OF WELLNESS
When:
Select dates (check the Meetup page for details)
Where: Lake Mary Jane (Orlando) and Lake Mizell (Winter Park)
Cost: $35 including board rental (or $20 if you bring your own board)

Jessica Cichra of Wave of Wellness hosts seasonal paddleboard yoga classes, inviting you to align body, mind, and spirit while practicing balance and breath. During the 1 hour 15 minute class, you’ll paddle out to a serene spot on the water and the balancing act begins. While the class is open to beginners, I’d recommend some prior experience with yoga and paddle boarding so that the experience isn’t a total shock. Wave of Wellness hosts beginners lessons to get you acquainted with paddleboarding.

Yoga on the Lawn at Southern Hill Farms

Blueberry season in Florida runs from April-June, and at Southern Hill Farms you can pair blueberry picking with a 1-hour all levels yoga class. After class, peruse the farm’s 40 acres of blueberry bushes as you pick your own berries. One pound of u-pick berries are included in the cost of the yoga class. The farm is a hotbed of activity on the weekends with food trucks, live music, mimosas and more in addition to yoga and u-pick. You’ll need to bring your own mat, towel, and water.

Headed to Lake Nona for a waterfront brunch at Canvas? Arrive a little earlier to practice yoga on the lawn of Crescent Park, located less than 5 minutes from the restaurant.

Practice your down dog in the company of dozens of adorable goats at this quaint farm near Plant City. Grady Goat Yoga invites you to the farm every weekend to do yoga amongst dozens of playful goats. Yes, they will jump on your back and yes, it's totally acceptable to play with the goats instead of focusing on your poses the whole time.
