Mastering the Paddle: Balance, Direction & Effortless Movement In this session, GabeYoga breaks down the essential technique of using your paddle with confidence and efficiency. You’ll learn how to hold the paddle correctly, how to generate power without strain, and how to use subtle shifts in your grip and body position to stay balanced on moving water. This video also covers turning, stabilizing, and the art of using the paddle as an extension of your core rather than your arms — a key skill for both SUP yoga practitioners and teachers. By the end of this lesson, you’ll feel more connected to your board, the water, and your own body’s intelligence.
