GET ON BOARD<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"EagleCreekYoga.Com\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Difficulty: <\/strong>Easy\u00a0 (arms, core)<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been to the beach lately, you\u2019ve seen\u2014and probably tried\u2014stand-up paddle-boarding. The sport has grown to the point of having its own magazine and competitions, but in its purest form it\u2019s still mainly a joyride on the water with the sneaky benefits of exercise. Balancing on a board a little longer than a surfer\u2019s works the core, and paddling tones arms. Lacking an undercurrent, Eagle Creek on a calm day makes for better paddle-boarding than does the\u00a0 choppy ocean, as second-generation boat-maker Anna Greeley found out when she built her own SUP to haul supplies to a vessel she was fixing up. Then she started paddling to her class at Eagle Creek\u2019s waterfront yoga center. It was too much fun to keep to herself, so she crafted a fleet of seven boards (prettier than any you\u2019ll rent at a hotel, with palm-print fabric decoupaged to the nose and a no-slip pad) and began leading PADDLEBOARD TOURS<\/strong> on Saturdays. A two-hour cruise starts at the Rick\u2019s Boatyard launch and heads north, past the causeway, hugging the tree-line for shade in \u00a0high summer. It\u2019s a workout but not a fitness class, so the group tends to take it easy and soak up the scenery. Ducks approach the boards, and it\u2019s common to spot heron and turtles. Bungee cords on each ride will hold a cooler and a bag (for a camera and towel, perhaps)\u2014and still leave plenty of room to lie down at times and simply float along through nature\u2019s gym. $40. Paddleboard Yoga-works, 317-281-8760, launch at 4050 Dandy Trail.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tip<\/strong>: Feeling wobbly? Squat, kneel, or sit while you paddle\u2014it\u2019s easier to balance with a low center of gravity.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Try This If:<\/strong> You can\u2019t swim. Lifejackets are provided, and chances are you won\u2019t fall in, but your fear might overshadow the fun.<\/p>\n

What to Wear:<\/strong> Quick-drying clothes, and a swimsuit underneath if you want to take a dip.<\/p>\n

Strike a Pose:<\/strong> Greeley also offers paddleboard yoga on Thursday and Saturday evenings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
