If so, yoga on a stand-up paddle board (SUP) might be your dream come true. Read on to see what happened when I tried yoga's newest trend. SUP Yoga Stand-up paddling boarding has been getting more popular over the past few years as a fun way to be out on the water and get some exercise at the same time.
