Description
Meditation and mindfulness provide clarity of thought and a time to find in your life. Combine that with a paddle board, and the gentle movement of the water in our special spot on the River Medway and we hope a wave of calm washes over you. We will paddle down to our special spot on the river, where our fully qualified Instructor will take you through a guided visualization and focused breathing will help slow you down and connect with yourself, nature and the water, physically, emotionally and spiritually. No paddle boarding or meditation experience is required, just an open mind and soul.
We’ll provide you with a paddleboard, suitable for SUP Meditation, paddle and quick release safety belt, plus optional buoyancy aids and wetsuits are available. Come dressed in yoga leggings, wick dry/lightweight top and layers, and a waterproof jacket if needed. It is best to be barefoot but you can wear old trainers or wetsuit boots.
Paddle Cabin members get 10% off, plus if you want to come regularly and sign up to the course, check out our class pass, which can be redeemed across our Wellbeing activities (SUP Yoga, SUP Meditation and SUP Fitness). This costs £125 for six sessions (six sessions for the price of five).
Requirements
What to bring
Please see our Paddle Prep page for more details of what to bring. You may get wet so we suggest lightweight sports clothes with swimwear underneath. Please bring suncream and if your session is later in the day, please bring insect repellent. We do have a limited range of wetsuits that you can use if you feel more comfortable. You can paddle barefoot, in neoprene boots or old trainers. Please do not bring any unnecessary valuables with you and bring a tuppa-ware or waterproof container for anything you want to take out on the water with you.
