Come join our Blue Therapy evening and feel your stresses and challenges flow away on the board, and come away feeling relaxed, refreshed and happy – one of the core values of the Paddle Cabin. Our evening retreat combines yoga and meditation on the board, a mindful paddle connecting you with nature and your surroundings, followed by a campfire back at the Paddle Cabin, with a calming herbal tea and nourishing snacks good for your soul.

Boosting your wellbeing is one of our key strands at the cabin, and we know that the water has a psychological restorative effect that boosts your mood, creating what is known as ‘Blue Mind’ – a mildly meditative state we benefit from when being around water. Combining that with a gentle, low impact workout and yoga and meditation practice on the water, this is the ultimate evening for releasing your stresses and finding time in your life for you. We will paddle to our special spot on the River Medway with the incredible Helen Keates who will lead a water themed yoga flow and guided visualisation. Add in the gentle movement of the water and we hope a wave of calm washes over you. This special evening aims to help you slow you down and connect with yourself, nature and the water, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Open to all abilities and beginners, no paddle boarding or yoga or meditation experience is required, just an open mind and soul. 

We’ll provide you with a paddleboard suitable for SUP Yoga, 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. Please bring a camping chair to sit around the fire with and warm clothes for when sunset comes.

Please arrive at 6pm for a two hour session on the water, followed by a campfire back on land when we return.
