SUP Yoga

Two of the most grounding things you can do — yoga and being on the water. We combined them. SUP Yoga at Crystal Lake is a one-hour session blending Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga on a stand up paddleboard, set on the calm, natural waters of our Lincolnshire lake. Each class weaves together movement, strength and flexibility work alongside pranayama breathing techniques and meditation — leaving you feeling both energised and completely at ease. Practising on the water adds a whole new dimension to your yoga. The board responds to every movement, quietly deepening your focus and body awareness in a way that a studio floor simply can’t replicate. It’s challenging, calming and genuinely unlike anything else. What to expect Duration 1 hour Price £27.50 per person Location Crystal Lake, Ocean Walker Academy, Lincolnshire Experience needed None — open to absolutely everyone Style Hatha and Vinyasa blend with breathwork and meditation No experience needed — seriously Never tried paddleboarding? Never done yoga? That’s absolutely fine. This is a truly adaptable practice available to all. Our instructor will guide you through everything and the session is designed to meet you wherever you are. If you fall in, you fall in — it’s all part of it.

Yin Yoga Class

Yin Yoga at Crystal Lake View Therapies Discover the power of stillness with Yin Yoga at Crystal Lake View Therapies, a slow, deeply grounding practice that works from the inside out, nurturing both body and mind. Unlike more dynamic styles of yoga, Yin Yoga invites you to slow down. Poses are held gently for longer periods, typically between three and five minutes, allowing the muscles to soften and the deeper connective tissues, including the fascia, ligaments, and joints, to receive mindful, sustained attention. This meditative approach to yoga encourages deep relaxation, improved flexibility, and energetic balance, while creating space for self-reflection, inner stillness, and calm. Rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yin Yoga works along the meridian lines of the body to support the flow of energy (or “qi”), helping to restore harmony between the physical and energetic body. Regular practice is known to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, the part of the body responsible for rest and recovery, making it one of the most effective yoga styles for stress relief and emotional regulation. Who Is Yin Yoga For? Yin Yoga is suitable for all levels, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners looking to deepen their practice. It is especially beneficial if you are looking to: Reduce stress and anxiety through mindful, breath-focused movement. Release chronic tension held in the hips, lower back, and shoulders.
