As SUPGirlz Season 14 winds down, I want to sincerely thank everyone who came down to the beach this summer.
Even in a year with smaller class sizes for additional safety, we had over 500 new folks join us in Toronto, whether for certification, a social class, a paddleboard rental, or their very first SUP experience. I’m continually inspired by every person, new or experienced, who engages with the sport, and finds peace in the water. I'm thankful too for the local love we felt this year. I hope you continue to incorporate ‘blue mind’ and beach love into your routines as much as possible.
We’ll still be open through September, weather-permitting: please keep an eye on the schedule to take advantage of warm fall days. We'll include new times for sunrise and night SUP, some of the most beautiful hours you'll ever have on the lake.
To those that are jumping right into new challenges at school and work: thank you again, and see you next year!

A few summer 2021 highlights: exploring the east-end beaches, advanced classes and surf training, SUP with PUP, full moon paddles, and weekday mornings with the sunrise crew.
The Down Dog pose Sanskrit name is Adho Mukha Svanasana, which translates to “Downward-Facing Dog Pose.” This iconic yoga posture is a staple in many yoga practices worldwide due to its ability to stretch and strengthen the entire body. In the Down Dog pose Sanskrit tradition, the focus is on lifting the hips high while grounding the hands and feet firmly into the mat. This creates a strong inverted "V" shape that elongates the spine and opens the shoulders. Practicing the Down Dog pose Sanskrit regularly improves circulation, relieves tension in the back and legs, and enhances overall flexibility. It also serves as a restful position between more challenging poses in sequences like Sun Salutations. Beginners often find the Down Dog pose Sanskrit challenging…
Kaiut Yoga Poses are designed to promote long-term health and functional movement, making them ideal for people of all ages and body types. Unlike more dynamic styles, Kaiut Yoga focuses on gentle, sustained holds that target the joints and connective tissues. These poses help release tension and improve mobility, especially in areas often restricted by modern lifestyles. Practicing Kaiut Yoga Poses regularly can support injury recovery, enhance circulation, and reduce chronic pain. The method emphasizes stillness and awareness, allowing practitioners to connect deeply with their bodies. Each session is accessible, regardless of experience level, and encourages a non-competitive approach to yoga. Kaiut Yoga Poses are particularly beneficial for those dealing with stiffness, joint issues, or anxiety. They work subtly yet powerfully…

Le frequenze per guarire sono vibrazioni sonore o elettromagnetiche che, secondo varie discipline olistiche e studi sulla terapia vibrazionale, possono stimolare processi di riequilibrio e benessere nel corpo e nella mente. Ogni frequenza è associata a specifici effetti: ad esempio, alcune sono ritenute in grado di ridurre lo stress, favorire la rigenerazione cellulare o migliorare la qualità del sonno, mentre altre vengono utilizzate per stimolare la concentrazione, la creatività o il rilascio di tensioni emotive. La teoria alla base di queste pratiche si fonda sul concetto che tutto nell’universo, compreso il nostro corpo, vibra a determinate frequenze, e che l’esposizione a suoni armonici possa riportare l’organismo a uno stato di equilibrio naturale. Tecniche come la musicoterapia, i canti armonici, l’uso di…
The luteal phase, meaning the latter half of the menstrual cycle that occurs after ovulation and before the start of menstruation, plays a crucial role in reproductive health and overall hormonal balance. This phase typically lasts about 12–14 days, though it can vary slightly from person to person, and is characterized by a surge in progesterone production from the corpus luteum, the temporary endocrine structure formed from the ruptured follicle. The increase in progesterone helps prepare the endometrium (uterine lining) for the possible implantation of a fertilized egg, creating an optimal environment for early pregnancy. If fertilization does not occur, progesterone levels drop, signaling the body to shed the uterine lining, which leads to menstruation and the start of a…
