Looking for a different way to unwind this summer? Paddle board yoga on the River Medway is back, with three more Sunday morning sessions taking place on 26 July, 9 August and 23 August.
Hosted by Tonbridge-based paddle sports specialists Epic Life, these unique classes combine a gentle paddle with an hour of relaxing yoga in one of the most peaceful spots in Haysden Country Park. After a short 15-minute paddle, participants anchor amongst the lily pads and trees before enjoying a 60-minute yoga session, followed by a leisurely paddle back.
Don’t worry if you’ve never tried yoga on a paddle board before. The class is designed to be accessible for beginners and isn’t about trying to make you fall in! Most poses are seated, lying down or close to the board, with optional standing postures for those wanting to challenge their balance.
The sessions are led by local yoga teacher Emma, who trained in Bali in 2022 and blends yin and yang styles to create classes that leave you feeling stronger, calmer and more relaxed. As both a qualified yoga teacher and paddle board instructor with Epic Life, she also incorporates movements that help improve mobility and strength for paddle boarders.
The final part of every class is dedicated to slowing down, with restorative stretches and a blissful savasana as you gently float on the water – the perfect antidote to a busy week.
Sessions cost £25 per adult, including paddle board hire, a 60-minute yoga class and 30 minutes of paddling. If you have your own board, it’s just £15 to join in.
Whether you’re looking to improve muscle tone, calm your nervous system or simply spend a peaceful Sunday morning on the water, paddle board yoga is a wonderful way to experience the River Medway from a different perspective.
Places are limited, so book your space via the Epic Life website before the remaining summer sessions fill up.
