YOGA with SUE​
RETREATS
31st May - 2nd June 2024
​
Summer Awakening Retreat​
STUDLAND, DORSET
​
Introducing SUP (Stand Up Paddle Board) Yoga!
with SUE CHOPPING
​
Join Sue for a weekend of yoga, including SUP (Stand-Up- Paddle-Board) Yoga, Somatic Yoga, Meditation, and Yoga Nidra.
Sup Yoga strengthens your core and knees and teaches you the art of ‘finding balance in the midst of the fluidity of the ocean’ which resonates so much with our lives today.
Connect to your ocean breath in ‘Downward-Dog’ looking to the sea balancing on your board, and evolve through a gentle wave of sequences to balance your `bhava’ or feeling and re establish your ability to let go and engage just enough………..and have fun!
