5 Reasons You’ll Want to Be Apart of SUP Teacher Training
This March 10- 12th, SunChaser is hosting our first Stand Up Paddle (SUP) Teacher Training of 2023! This training is packed with all things paddle boarding, yoga sequencing, and sun! This training is for all the salty souls who love chasing the sun, trying something new, and are ready for the adventure of a lifetime!
Sound like you? We thought so! Maybe you’re on the fence about jumping into the water with us this Spring for training! No worries! We’ve got FIVE reasons you’re going to want to be apart of SunChaser’s SUP Teacher Training this March.
REASON ONE: SAFETY IS THE #1 REASON TO TAKE A SUP TRAINING.
Our training is designed to educate and inform ALL levels of instructors with water safety and preparation. You will learn:
boating laws
rules & regulations
proper water rescue techniques
injury prevention
safety planning
understanding the environment (tides, currents & wind patterns)
REASON TWO: FINE TUNE YOUR PADDLE SKILLS ADVANCE YOUR TECHNIQUE.
This training covers the fundamentals of paddle boarding. You will learn the paddle techniques to properly instruct your students. As a SUP Yoga training, our training combines paddle boarding and yoga, diving deeper into those skills to offer you an extensive amount of knowledge as a teacher. We cover SUP etiquette, board anatomy, and equipment knowledge. You will leave proficient in all things SUP.
REASON THREE: ENHANCE YOUR TEACHING.
As SUP Yoga instructors, we do not have the opportunity to give hands on adjustments, so you rely on your verbal cues to assist. This will help you sharpen your verbal cues as a teacher, on land and on sea. The water encourages you to let go as a teacher and be adaptable to change. This training helps you learn how to read your students so that you can create a safe yoga sequence on the water with modification, transitions. We also instruct on what NOT to do on the water, which builds on the understanding of water safety and adapting the yoga practice to water.
Learn how to adapt your current land practice to the water. You will feel confident to teach to all levels with a knowledge of how to start and run a SUP Yoga business.
REASON FOUR: THE EXPERIENCE.
The experience of guiding your students out on the water and getting lost in the bliss. Our floating yoga studio has no walls, no mirrors, and no room for the ego. Our only music is the sound of mother nature. You become embraced by her. If you listen, you could hear the stories the wind tells, the birds chirping, and the water as it laps beneath the board. The sun slowly begins to warm your skin. The smell and taste of the salt air instantly calms the mind. The water will illuminate all of your sense, opening your eyes to the true beauty of mother nature. The sea teaches us to slow down and take a breath. This training offers you an unique experience to get intimate with the beauties of nature.
REASON FIVE: THE SUNCHASER EXPERIENCE IS ONE OF A KIND.
This training is guided by Dana and Kayla, who both educate and speak off of their unique experiences. This makes the SunChaser experiences ever-evolving, adapting, and changing. No SUP Training is the same!
Dana is gifted in teaching on land and on water. With this being a SUP Yoga Training, an integral part of this experience is learning how to transform the land practice to the water. Dana has years of yoga studio experience, stretching across both coasts, which has given her an expansive knowledge on teaching styles, yoga sequencing, and how to adapt practices to different lifestyles and mediums.
Kayla’s experience and knowledge on paddling is integral to this training. She guides paddle drills, teached different techniques, and ensures that every trainee is a strong paddler in order to guide a class on the water. Kayla paddle intensive teaching will give every trainee the skills and knowledge they need to feel confident on the water and to remain in control of future SUP Yoga classes when instructing out on the water.
SunChaser’s next SUP Yoga Teacher Training is happening this MARCH! This experience is an unique adventure that we hope you’ll take with us. To us, SUP Teacher Trainings don’t end when you get receive your certificate. With each of our SUP Trainings being slightly different, we are bonded by our shared adventure during this three-day intensive.
Our next training will run through March 22 23, and 25 2024!
