Wider boards provide stability. Deck padding comfort important. Length affects pose options. Inflatable or solid both work.

Start with seated positions. Move to kneeling poses. Standing poses require balance. Progress gradually.

Anchor Use

Small anchor prevents drift. Paddle can anchor temporarily. Position matters for session. Check anchor security.

Getting Started

Take a SUP yoga class first. Practice on land before water. Accept falling as part of learning. Calm conditions essential initially.
