7 . SUP yoga garudasana Come down on all fours and push the right knee to the right hand ; your right foot slides out . Bring the left knee to the right calf as if your legs were crossed . Press your inner thighs firmly together and straighten up with body tension . Now add the eagle arms , your left arm resting on the right . Stay for five breaths .
8 . Eagle push-up Bring your hands back on the board under your shoulders . Exhale and bend your elbows to a maximum of 90 degrees without losing body tension . With your inhalation , straighten your arms again . Stay for five breaths . Repeat steps 7 and 8 ( change if necessary ) with the left leg in front .
9 . For advanced : headstand with eagle legs If headstand is a regular part of your yoga practice , you should try this pose on the SUP board ! Get on all fours , place your forearms shoulder-width apart , and cross your fingers into each other . Place your head in your hands , and lift your knees and pelvis . Walk with your feet as close as you can to your elbows until they lift almost by themselves . Shift your weight to your forearms ( not to the top of your head !). Pull one knee toward your chest and slowly extend the other leg upwards . When you have found your balance , raise the second leg and press the insides of your legs firmly together . If necessary , hook your right foot into the left calf . Stay at least five breaths , then come into the child ’ s pose and rest .
10 . Shavasana The best part of your SUP yoga practice comes at the end ! Lie on your back for a few minutes , eyes closed , feet hip-width apart , arms resting by your side with open hands . Feel the sun ’ s warmth on your skin , the light breeze and the gentle swaying of the water . Breathe and let go .
