This Memorial Day weekend we kicked off summer by offering free SUP Yoga classes at the Mtn Sports Fest here in Asheville.

The classes were an hour and a half long and we used an anchor system to keep boards in place. We had a great time and thank everyone who came out! We’ll be offering classes all summer on Lake Julian and on Hominy Creek! Check out our schedule! Enjoy the photos.
