Join us starting THIS SATURDAY for Lakefront SUP Yoga at the Dock at Discovery World , featuring the SOL Paddle Boards Namastation—a unique floating yoga platform that connects our paddleboards together to create a one-of-a-kind studio right on the water.

Surrounded by the Milwaukee skyline, Lakeshore State Park, and calm, protected harbor waters, you’ll move through a guided practice with Cathy Stadler of Outdoor Aura MKE while your board gently moves beneath you.
