Paddleboard Yoga Teacher Training Certification Programs

Jana is very knowledgeable and straightforward. She is clear and easy to understand. I learned so much about paddle board yoga technique and will not forget it.

I recently had the incredible opportunity to participate in a SUP YO teacher training three day weekend, and it was nothing short of transformative. Set against the picturesque backdrop of a peaceful lake, the experience was a perfect blend of physical challenge and outdoor nature.

Our instructor, Jana and her assistant, Lydia were phenomenal, each bringing a deep knowledge of both yoga and stand-up paddleboarding. Their enthusiasm for SUP yoga was infectious, and their expertise allowed them to provide personalized feedback to each participant, regardless of their experience level. They ensured everyone felt safe and confident, both on the board and in executing yoga poses.

The training was well-structured, balancing theoretical knowledge with plenty of practical, hands-on experience. We delved into the nuances of paddleboard safety, yoga pose adaptations anchoring on water, and mini classes on how to teach on the board in water. The curriculum was thoughtfully designed to empower us as future instructors, equipping us with the skills necessary to teach safely and effectively.
Practicing yoga on the water is magical. The gentle lapping of the water against the paddleboard, the fresh air, and the soft sounds of nature all combined to create a meditative backdrop.

The equipment provided was top-notch, with high-quality paddleboards that offered stability and comfort. This was crucial in allowing us to focus fully on mastering the techniques without worrying about our safety.

One of the most delightful aspects of the weekend was the sense of community that developed among the participants. There was a spirit of support and camaraderie that made learning and experimenting fun. We cheered each other on through challenges and celebrated each other’s successes, creating bonds that lasted beyond the training.

Beyond learning how to teach SUP YO, the weekend was a journey of personal growth. Balancing on a paddleboard while performing yoga poses taught me a lot about focus, resilience, and adapting to the environment and the flow.

In conclusion, the SUP YO teacher training weekend was an enriching experience that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in expanding their yoga practice or teaching on the water. It was not just an educational weekend; it was an adventure that nourished the soul, challenged the body, and broadened the mind. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or a curious beginner, this training has so much to offer. I am grateful for this experience. Jana is an exceptional teacher.

SUP YO adventures has provided me with a whole new experience in yoga and practice that is entirely unique to being out on the water. It is truly transformative. Thank you Jana.

There is A LOT to learn and Jana was wonderful at making sure we really understood and felt comfortable and confident with all of the skills needed! It’s a wonderful program and an awesome experience. I would highly recommend SUP YO to anyone wanting to teach Paddleboard Yoga!

The program far exceeded my expectations. There are so many facets I honestly had no idea about. We covered everything thoroughly from safety to running a business. The knowledge built my confidence. I am ready without hesitation to get on the water & lead an amazing class. I would highly recommend it to anyone! Do it!

I absolutely loved the training. It was extremely thorough covering all aspects from safety to running a business. I am confident I could hold a safe, fun class on lake or ocean. I would recommend to anyone! Thank you!

The communication and support provided by SUP YO prior, during and after training was excellent. Jana, the owner & trainer, and her staff, Anna & Ally, were very knowledgeable, skillful and experienced in teaching us all of the required and very important content; like how to choose the right board, how to adjust your paddle to your height, how to safely use a paddle board on fresh water and salt water, to safely teach a flow. They made us feel at ease right off the bat. I would immensely recommend this training to everyone!

I attended the SUP YTT with Jana, it was an amazing experience and I can’t stop raving about it! The program was well laid out for each day, everything was organized and it flowed seamlessly. We had an amazing group of like minded individuals, everyone worked well together and stayed alert as we absorbed hours of intense, but FUN skills, drills, knowledge, technique etc. If you’re thinking about getting your certification in SUP Yoga, look no further!

You will Come out ready & prepared to teach

It was an amazing experience! The training was comprehensive and Jana is an excellent trainer. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to train with either. I would definitely recommend the training to my fellow yogis and after experiencing the quality of training, I am looking forward to trying other adventures with SUPYO.

Excellent SUP YOGA Teacher Training experience! Loved all the time on the water with Jana and Ally! Favorite part was meeting such an amazing group of warm and supportive women who enjoy the outdoors as much as I do!

Thank you to Jana for putting this training together! It was such a wonderful learning experience. I feel that the 3 days was the perfect amount of time. It really helped that first day we were introduced to paddling techniques, which to my surprise, I had been paddling incorrectly the last two years. This really helped me with speed and agility. After the second day, using round robin teaching really made me forget my fears if this was something I could do or not. By the third day I was so excited to get out and teach in class with the techniques we learned. It was also a joy to meet new friends and have time to get to know one another on this trip. I am more now than ever to get out on the water this summer and teach for SUP YO!

I love the idea of studying, practicing SUP YOGA in nature, meeting new friends, exchanging experiences, spending time together, learning with fun…and Jana is amazing teacher. You can always ask question, she delivered what she promised…

The chemistry of our group was incredible. I believe that is because Jana is so hands-on to include each participant + is so skilled at cultivating community. Sharing the company of like-minded women in a group setting—particularly after the life-altering pandemic we’ve all been experiencing—was very powerful. The content likewise was excellent. We covered a wide swath of information, from how to read nautical maps + tie anchor knots to proper paddle technique, safety rescues + creative sequencing. I feel prepared to teach not only paddleboard yoga, but also paddle class.

Funnest training EVER!

I participated in SUP YO teacher training in 2018. Jana was a fabulous teacher and really helped up grow our paddling technique and learn paddle board safety, how to adapt poses on a board, equipment and the business side if SUP Yoga. This course left me confident to teach a class on the water and adapt to any unexpected “storms” that could arise. I would recommend this training to anyone wanting to learn more about teaching SUP Yoga!

The Sup Yo teacher training with Jana was an incredible experience. She was relatable, knowledgeable, and helpful! I learned so much about paddling, yoga, and myself throughout this training. Couldn’t have asked for a better training or group of yogis!

I can’t say enough about my amazing journey thus far with SUP YO! Jana has built something special, and her passion and knowledge shine through in everything she does. This weekend’s YTT was no exception and just exemplifies what you can accomplish when you let your passion lead the way!

“Learning the fundamentals of SUP made a great foundation and made a big difference for me and built confidence. I feel like a better paddler, I was always a casual paddler…but this training made me feel like “I can do this!””

Thank you so much for this weekend! It was incredible!

The SUPYO YTT was equally filled with serious educational moments as with silly giggles amongst newfound friends. I feel like I left with the knowledge to run a competent, safe, and fun SUP yoga class as well as a new extension to my yoga family.
