B'More SUP, Dundalk

Requiring balance, concentration, and poise, standup paddleboarding is one of the most personal and serene ways to explore the water—which makes it a perfect complement to yoga. At B'More SUP, yoga instructors lead exercises right on the water, swapping yoga mats for paddleboards during FloYo classes. Because of the floating element, FloYo manages to be an even bigger core workout than typical yoga classes. "The second your mind wanders," founder Jessie Benson says, "you're going to fall off the board and be in the water"—which, at least, would be a nice way to cool off after breaking a sweat.

The classes are also a great way to connect with nature. B'More SUP's classes and tours launch from Dundalk's Bear Creek, where the water quality is monitored and tested weekly. In fact, many of B'More SUP's programs aim to raise awareness of the need for a clean harbor, keeping Chesapeake Bay as clean as your mind during a good meditation session.
