The Tampa Adventure Group is learning how to do standup paddle board yoga or SUP yoga.

It's a first for Britton Julian.

"I like saying yes to a lot of adventures that I normally wouldn't say yes to," says Julian.

What SUP South Tampa Instructor Tessa Blosser says is as long as the water is calm it can be smooth sailing.

"We're all anchored out, so we're not floating away from each other or anything like that. No one's like 'hey, come back over here' in the middle of your yoga class," Blosser says.

But Blosser says SUP yoga can be a lot harder than yoga on land.

"Being on a paddle board brings the instability into your yoga practice and so you really have to focus on that while doing the yoga," Blosser said.

The easiest poses on land like modern warrior, down dog, and dog spilt can all be more challenging on the paddle board.

"If you really want to push yourself to get a certain move or a certain pose, then you have a chance of falling in," Blosser said.

"During a normal yoga practice you're focusing and you're stable on ground, but here the water is definitely going to put in another variable," Julian said.
