Yoga instructor Michele Benton teaches yoga indoors and out, including classes, workshops and retreats. She's focused on beach yoga, Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) skills, SUP Yoga and SUP private group classes. Her instruction focuses on anatomy and alignment and she provides a safe and therapeutic practice no matter the student's experience.

Paddleboard Yoga from May through October launching from Bethune Park on the Intracoastal side or North Causeway. Please contact Michele or check the website www.omsunshine.com for schedule.
This class will consist of a yoga sequence on the water that emphasizes core and balance. Poses will start low on the board as the student gets used to the movement of the board and then work our way into standing poses.
We begin on shore with basic safety and paddling instructions as well as light warm ups before paddling to a beautiful and calm spot where we will practice yoga on the boards.
