Paddleboard yoga combines the best of exercise, water sports, and the outdoors. Yoga instructors in Shenyang, northeast China's Liaoning Province, held a demonstration on a stretch of the Hunhe River, performing synchronized yoga poses while carefully balancing on their boards.
Paddleboard yoga has been trending as a fitness activity for a few years now. Compared to indoor yoga, it requires practitioners to have good concentration and balance, and offers a chance to improve core strength, flexibility, and mental focus.
