An instructor training that we are most proud of – our Suppama on-water fitness classes

There is probably a pool near you right now. Imagine what would happen if you take a traditional fitness workout from a gym and place it on a floating platform. That’s what we did and what came out was an effective workout combined with pure excitement and fun. It’s a unique program that hits your core muscles, and engages the whole body. The great thing about it is that it’s not a dull or boring “give me 20 squats” routine. If you can’t keep it up with the moves you might find yourself in water. This can be a great opportunity to learn something new and cool. It can be done both in indoor and outdoor pools, SPAs, activity centers, schools, gyms etc. Why not learn this trendy thing, then contact your local pool and set up your first class? We provide not just the training but also all of the necessary equipment.

Supercool concepts

Begin with standard SUP lessons or dive straight into exciting SUP Fitness or SUP Yoga. Learn supercool concepts like Suppama HIIT and Suppama Yoga.

Licence to teach

We will certify you. You will be capable to teach others the basics, organise events and teach ultra-cool activities. Be a proud owner of the Suppama® license to teach.

Marketing support

TEACH SUP YOGA

Start your path of joy, peace and balance today!

Yoga, promoting calmness and stability. What other way to enhance its properties if not to practice it on water. Water is one of the four elements of life and practicing Astanga Yoga on our Fitmats adds an interesting twist to the classic approach. There are no pre-requests for this course. If you didn’t practice SUP or yoga, that’s completely fine, as we will make sure to cover everything you need. Once you finish you will get a solid understanding of Yoga poses modified for SUP and a list of SUP Yoga poses from beginner to advanced levels.

OUR FITMAT

For static pool trainings like SUP Yoga we have developed our own floating exercise mat – FITMAT. It is designed for broader range of fitness exercises on the water. Its stability and durability are greater than on a regular board. You can use it both indoors and outdoors.

  • IS THERE A DEMAND FOR SUPPAMA® SUP INSTRUCTORS?

    Yes! Not only is there a demand, but you can easily create more of a demand.
