Yoga and SUP Day Retreat

Escape for a day of yoga and paddle boarding at Ocean Vertical HQ in beautiful East Lothian.

Begin your day at Ocean Vertical HQ, a beautifully restored 200-year-old Victorian stables nestled in the heart of John Muir Country Park, East Lothian.

Your morning session is an extended, yoga-inspired practice designed to help you move well, feel grounded, and prepare both body and mind for time on the water. Led by our specialist instructor, Erin Taylor, the session blends mobility, functional strength, breathwork and deep relaxation — releasing tension, building awareness and restoring energy.

The aim is simple: to help you feel more connected, more capable, and ready to get the most from your paddle boarding experience.

Accessible and welcoming, this practice is suitable for all levels, whether you’re new to yoga or returning to your mat. Expect to leave feeling calm, energised and ready for the water.

Following the mornings yoga session, it’s time for lunch!

Relax and enjoy a choice of freshly made soup, sandwiches, and salad in our sunny courtyard, or by our woodburning stove before the afternoon’s activity.

After lunch we will get wetsuits on and head off to our beautiful, secluded woodland loch for an afternoon’s paddle boarding with your OV instructor.

Our paddle boarding session is designed to be accessible and enjoyed by all skill levels, and we will provide everything you need including transport to and from the loch.
