Paddle Board season is here! Join me on Griffy Lake for a variety of paddling options from learning to paddle to yoga. Programs are available for accompanied children to paddlers 50+ (last year that was our most common demographic! We had many in their 70's and a few in their 80's).
All program dates and times can be found here: https://bloomington.in.gov/recreation/programs
Just ask if you have any questions.
* WE provide the board, paddle and life vest for you. Just show up!
**You don't HAVE to stand on the board. You can kneel or sit.
***You must be able to swim
Why a lesson?
Many might be able to paddle without a lesson, but if you take a beginning class you will learn how to hold the paddle correctly, increase/decrease speed, simple turning and navigation techniques, how to get back on the board if you fall, how to paddle in windy conditions, how to paddle for power and speed.
Yoga sessions will show you how clear the board for a safe yoga practice and introduce you to appropriate yoga poses to counter the movements of paddling.
