Orienteering Workshops

This clinic is designed to teach you the skills that will allow you to walk freely and safely throughout the backwoods of Vermont without the need to stay on the beaten path. This hands-on workshop will emphasize awareness skills and show you how to have fun with map and compass. First you will learn basic compass skills to allow you to successfully run our bearings course. This will lead to developing such concepts as reading a topographic map, shooting a bearing, declination, and low impact hiking. Finally we will use our new found skills to do a point to point bushwhack, totally off trail, to graduate you into the world of the safe off-trail wanderer.

Stand Up Paddleboard Yoga

IMG_5512

Clearwater Sports  provides stand up paddle yoga classes to get you out of the studio and onto the water this summer! Float peacefully with and get in rhythm with this gentle flow. The meditative calm of floating on the water while practicing yoga on this beautiful mountain lake can only heighten your inner tranquility.

In SUP Yoga, your stand up paddle board is your mat floating on the water. Your routine is enhanced by practicing postures on a dynamic medium which requires a little extra balance and concentration.

Classes will meet at Blueberry Lake where you will get your gear and then paddle ten to fifteen minutes to warm up and get to one of our favorite protected spots on this beautiful Lake. Misa will then lead a moderately paced Vinyasa Yoga Flow. This flow is designed for all levels of students. This will be followed by a cool down paddle back to our start off point. Classes are approximately 90 minutes long and include board, paddle and PFD. Please arrive at Blueberry Lake ten to fifteen minutes early to get your equipment into the water. Please bring your own sunblock, appropriate clothing (be prepared to get wet!), towel, and water (please no plastic water bottles).

Some prerequisites include knowing how to swim.  All levels of yoga students are encouraged to join.

$35+ tax per Session
$25+ tax per Session BYOB (bring your own board)
$90+ tax  SUP Yoga Three Pack
$60+ tax  SUP Yoga Three Pack BYOB
