AQUA STAND UP® YOGA #22
AQUA STAND UP® YOGA #22 is a comprehensive floating yoga flow that blends mindful movement, stability challenges, and deep mobility work.
Through 13 interconnected tracks, participants move from grounding breath awareness into dynamic spine and core activation, heat-building flows, balancing warriors, hip openers, and a complete restorative close.
This edition emphasises fluid transitions, conscious breathing, and postural integrity on the water. The instability of the board amplifies engagement of deep stabilisers—the core, glutes, and feet—while demanding mental focus and calm.
Instructors guide participants through progressive sequences that cultivate awareness of the body’s centre, develop functional balance, improve spinal alignment, and release tension across the whole chain.
By the end of the session, participants experience a state of strengthened stillness—a combination of physical endurance, joint openness, and mental tranquility.

Lesson 1: Warm Up
To awaken presence and establish harmony with the water. Participants connect to breath, posture, and balance, grounding through stillness and gentle movement to set the tone for mindful flow.

Lesson 2: Sun Salutation 1
Prepares the mind and body for continuous flow. It integrates earlier mobility work into rhythmic, coordinated sequences that feel effortless and balanced. The board’s gentle motion refines transitions, teaching confidence in shifting between poses. Breath becomes the metronome for focus and grace.
-
Lesson 3: Sun Salutation 2
This track embodies moving meditation. It cultivates strength through softness and focus through rhythm. As the body flows through the sequence, each breath washes away tension. The repetition builds trust in the body’s natural intelligence and reminds participants that balance is not found by fighting instability — but by moving with it.
-
Lesson 4: Lower Body Heat
Strengthens the foundation — legs, hips, and feet — while nurturing awareness of balance and grounding. The controlled squats train patience, and the pulses build endurance through grace. Participants begin to sense the dance between power and stillness: effort that remains fluid, grounded energy that moves freely.
-
Lesson 5: Warrior Flow
This sequence blends power and serenity, awakening the body’s full range of motion while cultivating confidence on the board. The Warrior series strengthens the legs, opens the hips, and stabilizes the shoulders, but it also embodies courage and presence.
-
Lesson 6: Spine Mobility
This track bridges stillness and motion. It awakens the spine, core, and breath to move as one fluid system. By combining gentle rocking with spinal articulation, participants learn how to find stability within movement.
-
Lesson 7: Balance & Mobility
This sequence rebuilds balance after intensity. It strengthens the connection between breath, body, and water through playful transitions that enhance agility and awareness. Participants refine coordination, stability, and lightness in motion. “Connect” reminds them to approach balance with curiosity instead of control—teaching that the board is not to be conquered, but to be danced with.
-
Lesson 8: Core Heat
A meditative core sequence that strengthens without strain. The emphasis lies in control, symmetry, and breath-coordinated movement. This track deepens awareness of the center, teaching participants to stabilize from within. Through the quiet challenge of balance, the body awakens and the mind begins to focus inward, anchoring calm strength.
-
Lesson 9: Mobility
“Relax” integrates both the physical and energetic work of the session. The sequence balances gentle strength with release, helping participants re-center and reconnect to inner calm. It allows the nervous system to settle while maintaining awareness of the breath. The combination of core control and gentle twist helps restore harmony between movement and stillness, grounding energy before final relaxation.
-
Lesson 10: Hips Opener
This track ignites controlled fire in the core and shoulders. It blends effort with ease, inviting participants to find steadiness within strength. The warmth that builds here is not forced — it’s cultivated through conscious breath and mindful activation. By the end, the body feels alive, the heart steady, and energy balanced between grounding and lift.
-
Lesson 11: Flexibility
This track restores fluidity in the hips and lower back, releasing layers of held tension through mindful movement. The slow tempo promotes calm breathing and encourages participants to soften into discomfort with compassion. By opening the hips, energy flows freely through the spine, creating emotional clarity and a sense of grounded lightness. It’s a deep exhale for the entire practice—preparing the body for rest and integration.
-
Lesson 12: Meditation
Savasana integrates every layer of the practice—body, mind, and energy. Floating in stillness, participants experience the subtle dance between breath and water, feeling supported yet limitless. This final rest allows the nervous system to reset, muscles to absorb the benefits of movement, and the mind to settle into peace. The practice ends in gentle unity, where effort dissolves into presence and all that remains is calm.
-
Bonus Track: Core Heat
The core becomes the center of awareness—steady, present, and alive. This track tones the abdominals while teaching mindful control and alignment. It reconnects participants to their internal support system, reminding them that balance comes from the inside out. Each breath strengthens stability and calm, creating a foundation of quiet confidence.
