During the Mississippi River Challenge they offer various activities at Fort Snelling. We can have dinner, music, dancing, Surly beer, massages, yoga and paddle board yoga. When I first heard about paddle board yoga, I assumed the paddle boards would be on the ground. I knew the paddle board yoga class was at 6:15 a.m. and I saw the truck with about a dozen paddle boards parked inside the fort. Later I learned that the paddle board yoga class was not taught on the firm earth but down the hill on the Mississippi River. Say what? Yoga on a board in the water? That is crazy! I have taken yoga classes before. Even with bare feet on a soft yoga mat I have lost my balance. I never fell completely down but I did have to put my foot down quickly. Outside of child's pose or possibly the plank, I can't see myself doing yoga on a paddle board without going overboard. My plan was to observe this paddle board yoga if I happened to be awake and up at 6:15. I was awake at 6:15 but the gentle, steady rain that was falling changed my mind. I think the class was cancelled.Friday, August 3, 2012
