Question 1

Do I need to be a certified yoga teacher to take this training?

Answer

No, you don't need to be a teacher. Many practitioners join to deepen their own practice and balance. However, if you wish to receive Yoga Alliance CEUs or teach SUP yoga professionally, you should hold a 200-hour RYT certification.

Question 2

What SUP equipment is provided during the retreat?

Answer

We provide everything: high-quality paddleboards, adjustable paddles, safety leashes, and anchor systems for water-based asana. You just need to bring your swimwear and sun protection!

Question 3

How proficient do I need to be at paddleboarding before I arrive?

Answer

We welcome beginners! Our instructors provide an initial orientation to paddleboarding fundamentals. As long as you are comfortable in the water and have a basic sense of balance, we will help you master the rest.

Question 4

What happens if the weather is bad or the water is too rough?

Answer

Safety is our priority. If water conditions are not suitable, we move our practice to the ashram's pool or focus on land-based theory and teaching methodology. Guanacaste typically offers excellent conditions, but we always have a contingency plan.

Question 5

Can I use these CEUs for my Yoga Alliance registration?

Answer

Yes! This course is registered with Yoga Alliance. Upon completion, you will receive a certificate that can be uploaded to your Yoga Alliance profile to satisfy your Continuing Education requirements.

Question 6

Is the SUP Yoga certification recognized internationally?

Answer

Yes, our certification is recognized globally. The skills and safety protocols we teach are industry standards, allowing you to lead SUP yoga sessions with confidence at resorts, studios, and retreat centers around the world.
