Katie Johnson
Yoga Alliance ERYT-200 hr WPA Level 2 SUP Yoga Post Natal Yoga Have you ever stood in a place that simultaneously filled you with excitement, peace, happiness, love, fear, trust, hope, despair, gratitude, longing and belonging? A place that sets your vibration so high, you become aware of a deeper meaning to life? The rocky shores of Maine did just that for Katie, and she has since held nothing but love, respect and gratitude for the sea. Much like this connection to nature, yoga became a way of life for her, beginning in 2009. She has since been certified as a Yoga Alliance 200 hour registered teacher and World Paddle Association certified level 2 SUP Yoga instructor. She currently works for the Seacoast-based yoga outreach non-profit organization, Yoga in Action and enjoys working to bring yoga to those in need. Katie's curiosity for life and human condition will continue to shape her teaching, as yoga, community and nature continue to feed her soul. Using breath, alignment, and the knowledge that everyone is different, Katie encourages students to reach their own individual goals in their practice. Striving to live with light, love and kindness, she teaches classes that help others connect to a greater goodness to take out into the world. Call 207-752-4514 or sign up online.

The beginner-friendly sport of standup paddleboarding was born in the 1940s when Hawaiian surfers stood on boards and navigated their way through the waves with a long paddle. Standup paddleboard yoga (or SUP yoga, as it’s known to its devotees) is asana practiced on 10- to 12-foot-long boards in the most serene of settings: an ocean bay, a glassy lake, even a slow-moving river. In recent years, water-loving yogis have embraced SUP yoga as a practice that brings a sense of joyful freedom to an otherwise earth-bound yoga practice. Practicing yoga on a SUP brings a whole new perspective to being fully present in the moment. Yoga poses create a new challenge while floating, requiring full awareness and an acceptance of mother natures humor!
